The only pearls of Pakistani wisdom is to Bully and Blackmail. They can not think of solution of their problems without using these two.

"Malala Yousafzai and her father just called me from UK and expressed their solidarity. Malala said that Insha Allah we will defeat terrorists," Mir tweeted.

The material included a battery, a 35 no. detonator and ball bearings.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a reward of Rs 50 million for credible information regarding the attempt on Mir's life.
