A real blow to Pakistani cricket sport in particular and Pakistan as a country in general–especially tourism:
Because of what might happen, no one wanted to come to Pakistan to play cricket anymore. Not Australia, not New Zealand, not India.
After months of security warnings and suicide attacks, and after the Mumbai attack in November caused the Indian team to back out of a planned tour, only Sri Lanka agreed to come and play the national team, against the advice of everyone else.
On Tuesday morning, as buses drove the Sri Lankan cricket team from a fancy hotel to the Gadhafi stadium in Lahore, about a dozen heavily armed gunmen attacked the buses with rifles, grenades and rocket launchers, killing six police officers and a driver and injuring seven players, an umpire and an assistant coach from Britain.
With this audacious attack on South Asia’s favorite sport, the severity of the crisis in Pakistan hit home for many people who never thought terrorism could hurt them. And South Asia was again reeling from a coordinated assault that reminded many of the recent attack on hotels and foreigners in Mumbai.
this attack on cricket players makes no sense to me; it seems like this would only harm the image of any organization who did it
Masih saja ada sebagian orang yang cenderung suka menggunakan cara-cara kekerasan dalam menyampaikan gagasannya.
Namun hal ini harus kita lihat dari segala aspek dan sudut pandang, Agar masalah seperti ini tidak akan terulang lagi di masa mendatang.
oalahhhh masa gitu ajah harus dengan kekerasan?apa yap ngga ada cara lain tho kan mending olahraga bareng2 hehehe
I think terrorism try to infiltrate to the sport area. I wonder why it could happen. Or just people have been insane. As we know sport is an area when sportivity raised highest, and the terrorism definitely opposite area. Just to bad..
