Attack
on Lankan cricketers resembles Mumbai
terrorist attacks: IG, Pak Punjab
Lahore:
The attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team today bore
the hallmarks of the tactics used in the Mumbai strikes,
Pakistan Punjab province Inspector-General Khaled Farooq
said. Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, Khaled Farooq
said, "The attack resembles the Mumbai attacks." "That
(Mumbai attacks) was also a commando action and this (Lahore
attacks) is also a commando operation in which our five
officers embraced martyrdom," The News quoted him, as
saying. Hinting at the probable involvement of Pakistan's
northwest tribal areas, Farooq said, "They were trained
terrorists and they attacked in a planned manner.... The
attackers looked like Pashtuns." Seven people including
five policemen were killed and six Sri Lankan cricketers
were wounded in a sophisticated ambush by "trained terrorists"
here today. The Sri Lankan cricket tour has been called
off after the attack. CCPO Lahore Habibur Rehman claimed
that there were 12 attackers carrying rocket launchers,
hand grenades, Kalashnikovs and Mousers.
