Sri Lankan players attacked in Pakistan?!

[ajdude]

Yeah, Samaraweera and Paravitarana were shot in the chest and hamstring but have been treated well. They're leaving immediately.

I am sure they didn't target any specific player. The footage shows that they were firing aimlessly at the whole team.

wow wow wow where did you get to see footage? can we see it? i wana see it

as far as I understood it they weren't shot they just got hit by shrapnel and are doing good.

WTF. And still some people say Pakistan is a safe country to tour.

I really hope the Sri Lankan players are fine and RIP to the dead Police Officers.

I was searching this thread to answer how safe it is for vistors to go there,

But oh well.. After such an incident, I don't think cricketing tour in Pakistan will be considered any more. Human Life is the most valuable. India have taken a wise decision of canceling the tour.

Hope, everyone gets fast recovery :upray It's shocking.

I am shocked by this news. My mom called from India to tell me about it. Attacking cricketers was one of those things that I thought would potentially happen, but not ever happen.

The World Cup should move out of Asia. It is quite obvious that India and Pakistan have quite a lot to do to prove the safety of internationals here.

This was planned.

You'll probably see links on Twitter
"Sri Lankan" - Twitter Search

 

[sohum]

The links on the NDTV website right under this headline is that Sri Lanka were concerned about the safety in Lahore, and were even thinking about moving the Test out...

I saw it on my TV. There were all noises of gunfires. The scene looked horrible

 

[jordox]

Heh.

Pretty much marks the day of the end of Pakistani cricket in Pakistan. No teams will tour there for years.

 

[Slowcoach]

This is the result of the Pakistani government being forced to choose the US as an ally, ideally they would have preferred to stay neutral , but instead they were forced to choose an ally and therefore an enemy.

Umm..Because most probably the Sri Lankan Team will now go home? It's not rocket science.

 

[madmusician]

Shocking, but not completely unexpected. There's a reason why other nations have not toured Pakistan in the last year or so. Hopefully the Sri Lankan players will return to full health as soon as possible, and hopefully they can get out of Pakistan without further incident.
