BLOOD ON THE PRAYER MATS: Massacre Inside Islamabad Mosque as Bomber Turns Friday Prayers Into Slaughter
Thirty-one people are DEAD. More than a hundred and sixty wounded, bodies scattered on the sacred carpet of a Shiite mosque in Pakistan’s very capital. A suicide bomber walked right in, opened fire on guards, and detonated his payload in a crowd of worshippers. The images are HORRIFYING: civilians dragging the mangled and bleeding to hospitals, a man weeping over his dead relative, security scrambling amidst chaos they FAILED to prevent.
“This is a crime against humanity,” President Zardari declares. But words are cheap. The question screaming from every broken window is: HOW? HOW does a suicide bomber penetrate the federal capital, target a known minority group, and massacre with such ease? Officials are already pointing fingers ACROSS THE BORDER. Defense Minister Khawaja Asif says the bomber moved to and from Afghanistan. It’s the same old, deadly pattern: blame the Taliban next door while militants operate with terrifying impunity INSIDE.
Look at the silence. Look at the patterns. This is NOT an isolated tragedy. It comes just days after coordinated attacks killed 50 in Balochistan. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and ISIS affiliates HATE Shiites and have slaughtered them before. Yet the “surge in militant attacks” continues UNCHECKED. Security forces claim they kill “terrorists” after the fact, but they cannot—or will not—stop the bombs from exploding in the first place.
Top Shiite leader Raja Nasir is asking the questions everyone is thinking: this is a “serious failure” that raises “significant questions about the performance of the authorities.” Where were the protections? Who is being protected?
While foreign diplomats issue condemnations and the prime minister hosts visiting presidents miles away, ordinary people are burying their families. The guards who tried to stop the killer are missing. The hospitals are begging for blood. And the people responsible? They are still out there, watching, planning, knowing they can strike at the heart of the nation anytime they want.
The security state is failing, the body count is rising, and your government is telling you it’s business as usual.
