UNLIMITED TERROR

UNLIMITED TERROR
The bomb attack in Peshawar city that killed 105 people. It targeted the most vulnerable among civilians- women and children- a month long of violence unleashed by extremist militants across the country. The timing of the attack with the arrival in Pakistan of U.S secretary of the state Hillary Clinton might have been a co incidence.
It is unfortunate that the senior Pakistani government functionary has chosen to hurl the senseless accusation that India is funding the Taliban. The same Taliban were described less than a year ago as' patriots' willing to fight shoulder to shoulder with the Pakistani armed forces against India. Making anti India statements is one sure way for officials under pressure to earn political brownie points.
The bomb blast in Peshawar is a warning to not only Pakistan but also india. For Islamabad, which used terror as a weapon to destabilise India, It is time all countries united to fight against terrorism. Pakistan should cracked down on terrorists operating from its soil. If Pakistan is unable to act against terror, the international community should get involved. Drastic action and bold decisions is necessary for ending cross border terror.
Prime minister Manmohan singh said that India is ready to discuss all issues with Pakistan if an atmosphere that is fruitful for negotiations is created. Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah has said that Pakistan wants a good healthy relationship with India. He again said that talks with out pre-conditions can help resolve the Kashmir problem.
In Pakistan exactly what's happened. Pakistan can't ride the tiger with out running the risk of being swallowed up by it. On various solutions to the Kashmir issue, including autonomy proposal.
Pakistan was reeling under more terrorist attacks on Monday 1st November, with at least 34 people killed and nearly 50 wounded in a suspected suicide bombing in Rawalpindi, while a suicide bomber injured seven police men at check point on the Lahore motor way.
The bomb attack in Rawalpindi took place close to the militant gunmen who took hostages and laid siege to siege to a building . Most of the victims were waiting to enter a National Bank of Pakistan branch to draw money on the first working day of the month many were senior a citizens waiting to collect their pension
