Sri Lankan players attacked in Pakistan?!

[Dare]

I just saw the latest news video on the news and it showed one police was hiding in the bushes and only came out when the terrorist left. Also the police officer who was meant to protect the bus was playing dead. When the bus with the match official left he stood up.

whaaaaaat you serious? man you have to get me a video of this.

Here you go 3 News > Video > World > ICC referee says Pakistan security forces failed players
I don't know if that will work for people outside of NZ but give that a try. If that doesn't work try ????

If all else fails I can upload the view to youtube as I have copied the temp file to my pc.

Well I am not blaming Pakistan..but the whole scenario or drama was fixed and was aimed to do a copy of mumbai attacks and drag India into this...So that the focus of Mumbai attacks is removed.All this was pre planned and you will see more drama from Pakistan Government.

Max, you are a good patch-maker, but you are not a good poster. Really Max, your posts make no sense. The Pakistani team was involved in that attack! Really the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Looks like some pretty damn coward police officers there. People died because they played dead or hid in flowers.

I don't understand why the terrorists never approached the vans, though. Incredibly lucky they didn't.

I know looking at that video the terrorist had free rein to do whatever they wanted. No one was left and what was worst was the officials were just left there while the SL team bus got taken to safety.

Taufel just had an interview.

"You tell me why supposedly 20 armed commandos were in our convoy and when the team bus got going again we were left on our own? I don't have any answers to these questions.''

Taufel fury over security failure - Cricket - Fox Sports

Now I can understand the police not wanting to get involved but if their was 20 armed commandos in their convey what happened to them during the shootings.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Is it true that the umpires were left in the middle of all the mess while the Sri Lankans were taken to the stadium? That's what it sounded like from Simon Taufel.

If so, that's ridiculous. Police playing dead and hiding... They shouldn't be police officers if they're gonna do that. Sure, I know they don't want to die. But this is their job, and that is to protect people.

well sean in this part of country except few brave martyrs and brave cops ...police are totally corrupt....my salute to those who lay down their lives in these attacks.

haha see the attitude of pakistanis here YouTube - indian terrorist attack on srilankan cricket team .. they are blaming indians lol.

Pak minister blames India for attack on Lanka team - Topix

Nah I think their blame does make sense here. I seriously see some involvement here from even Indian cricket team. India Vs New Zeland match was not reduced because of rain, but because the Indian team took a quick flight to Pakistan from New Zealand and fired at the SriLankan team, then flew back quietly.
Just a possibility though!

Guess what Mr. Bindra, ICC's principal adviser has to say to Pakistan.

From Cricinfo : link

"I am totally against Pakistan agreeing to play in the neutral venues because then you are ruling out for quite some time an option of playing within the country," Bindra told Cricinfo. "That's what I advised Ijaz Butt (the PCB chairman) in the last meeting of the ICC board in Perth (on January 31). I said, 'Don't agree to play Tests in neutral venues like England because then there will be reluctance on part of the players to come and play in Pakistan'. This is a very dangerous precedent and we shouldn't fall into the trap of playing in neutral venues on the grounds of security."

Why don't you just sit in a van and face some terrorists Mr. Bindra? Oh no, that would be a very dangerous precedent!

Yeah, you are right. It's quite funny you know, the way the Pakistani media sees an "Indian hand" in each and every terror attack that happens in their country. Then when terror groups from within their country claim the responsibility- they turn a total three-sixty degree. My question to these guys- what will India profit by blasting a country already tattered to pieces by terrorism? Or do we want to blacken our image in the intl community this badly?

 

[sohum]

Man I just saw that video that Syl posted and am a little disgusted. I can see why Broad+Taufel would be furious.

Very true.

Imagine the families of the men who gave their lives during this incident. Those poor people, who now know that their fathers, husbands, brothers died because their friends were too cowardly to help.

the pcb president calling broad a liar is even more ridiculous!
