Cricket in Pakistan - *Update-2*

The recent attack on Sri Lankan cricketers highlights yet again the serious problems in Pakistan.

Not a single attacker was injured but a number of policemen were killed. Some news feeds were indicating that the attackers were organized in a similar manner to the Mumbai attacks. If so there is strong evidence (unconfirmed) that Pakistani intelligence was involved in the Mumbai attack.

If so the question then becomes was this attack also planned by the same groups. If so then were the policemen then setup to be killed. If perhaps what were their religious associations. One was obviously a Sikh based on the dress of the mourning family.

If it turns out that non of those killed were Muslim or if no Muslim policemen were assigned then that would be very strong evidence. That the Pakistani authorities are claiming to have no leads is also somewhat telling.

The attackers did not appear to be well trained, their military craftsmanship was poor, so there had to be some other reason that none of them were injured, killed or captured.

It it worth thinking about at least.

== Update ==

The first two days there was high level security and the Pakistani team bus travelled with the Sri Lankan one.

On the day of the attack there was little security and the Pakistani team bus did not travel with the Sri Lankan one.

Footage of the attackers shows no scanning of the surroundings and an almost casual approach and departure. They left unchallenged and footage showed then casually traveling to pickup and departure points. No attacker was caught.

The police protection melted away on attack and they were not armed or very lightly so.

You can make your own conclusions but all available evidence points to a pre-setup attack, known in advance to authorities and those controlling the movements of the Pakistani players. The attackers acted as if they knew there would be no resistance and their casual departure only reinforces this.

I predict that none of the attackers will be caught of if any are produced they will not be any of those actually involved in the attack.

== Update 2 ==

The blame game has started on this issue. In no particular order these include:

The Israel-Palestine conflict caused it.
George Bush caused it (actually I think that should read Muhammad).
It was Tamil Tigers.
Its all Israel's fault (for existing).
Global Warming

After careful consideration and applying the same logic that those above have used the real culprit has been identified.

It was the Easter Bunny

(In reality it was Muslims who did it to gain greater control in Pakistan to spread Islam even further with that country, but don't tell the people who came up with the opinions expressed above)
