What do you expect to happen after Pak Army carried out Operation Zarb-e-Azb and killed thousands of Muslims including women and children???

The group that claimed responsibility is Jundallah a Sunni group. This group has its own objectives, Zarb - e - Azab is mainly against TTP and foreign militants who are residing in tribal areas.

The real reason behind the Zarb-e-Kabz operation:

Reflecting this atmosphere of vexation with Pakistan's double-dealing, in June 2014, Senator Carl Levin pushed forward an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2015. Under the provision, the Secretary of Defense cannot waive the certification requirements needed to release $300 million of the $900 million Coalition Support Funds to Pakistan, unless he can certify that "Pakistan has undertaken military operations in North Waziristan that have significantly disrupted the safe haven and freedom of movement of the Haqqani network."

It seems Jundullah's objective is to disturb peace during Muharram.

The blow back of Zarb-e-Azab operation cannot be ruled out.

But the group which claimed the attack is a sunni group who is fighting against Shias.

The causality rate is high and the scenes at the hospital are disturbing. I think it is not the time to think about good or bad terrorist !

TTP splinter groups claim Wagah attacks; 55 dead

LAHORE: At least 55 people have been killed after an explosion took place near the Wagah border on Sunday night, DawnNews reported. Outlawed militant groups Jundullah and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar have both claimed responsibility for the attack.

Punjab police chief Inspector General Mushtaq Sukhera told AP that the bomb exploded outside a restaurant near a paramilitary soldiers' checkpoint at Wagah border on the outskirts of Lahore city. He also added that the explosion could have been the result of a suicide blast.

Lahore police chief Amin Wains confirmed it was a suicide attack. "People were returning after watching the parade at Wagah border when the blast took place. Ball bearings were found at the scene," he said.

Nearly 70 people have also reportedly been injured in the explosion.

Emergency has been declared at all hospitals in Lahore. Prime Nawaz Sharif has taken notice of the explosion and called for a report on the incident.

Wagah is the only road border crossing between the Indian city of Amritsar and the Pakistani city of Lahore.

An Indian security official told Reuters that the Indian side of Wagah border is "safe" after blast on Pakistani side.

The newly formed Jamaat-ul-Ahrar group of TTP also claimed the Wagah border attack as its spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan, speaking to Dawn on telephone from Afganistan, said the attack was carried out by one of their men.

When asked if it was one or more suicide bombers, he said they have one man but further details will be given later.

Earlier Jundullah, the outlawed group behind a suicide bombing that killed at least 78 Christians at a church in Peshawar last September, also claimed responsibility for the Wagah border attack.

The spokesman of the splinter group of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Ahmed Marwat via telephone said that the attack is a reaction to military operation Zarb-i-Azb and Waziristan operation.

Jundullah and the much larger Pakistani Taliban are among loosely aligned militant groups that frequently SHARE personnel, tactics and agendas. Claims for specific incidents are often hard to verify.

The group has claimed various attacks including the October 23 attack on Maulana Fazlur Rehman in Quetta .

On September 22, 2013, a twin suicide bomb attack had killed 127 people at a Peshawar church. This was the deadliest attack on the Christian minority in the history of Pakistan. Jundallah had wasted no time in accepting responsibility of this attack too.

18 Shia Muslims traveling from Rawalpindi to Gilgit-Baltistan on a bus in February 2012 were stopped in Kohistan and massacred based on their religious affiliation by individuals dressed in Military uniforms. Jundallah had also claimed responsibility for the act by contacting the media.

In June 2013, Jundallah had claimed responsibility for the killing of tourists and their Pakistani guide in Gilgit–Baltistan. The tourists were mountain-climbers who had hoped to climb Nanga Parbat. The dead included five Ukrainians, three Chinese, and their guide.

As most of the dead and injured were shifted to the nearby Ghurki Hospital, reporters said the premises was swarming with police, security agencies and the families of victims.

Hospital administration confirmed that at least 40 dead and over 50 injured have been received by hospital authorities.

"We received 35 bodies including those of women and children and 60 to 70 were wounded," Deputy Medical Superintendent of Ghurki Hospital near the Wagah border crossing, identified only as Dr Khurram, told domestic television channels earlier.

Later, medical superintendent Dr Iftikhar confirmed that over 100 people have been brought to Ghurki Hospital. More injured have been shifted to Lahore hospitals as GH does not have the capacity to treat further patients.

The explosion reportedly took place as the Rangers concluded the ceremony at Wagah, and the flags were being lowered.

For years, a military flag-lowering ceremony that takes place every evening at the Wagah border post, which draws crowds of partisan tourists who cheer every hostile strut and stare TRADED by the border guards on both sides.

Director General Rangers Punjab Khan Tahir Khan confirmed that the explosion is a suicide blast.

"The parade venue is about 600 metres ahead of the blast site. Because of the strict checking the suicide bomber detonated the bomb away from the parade venue."

Blast site
Footage shows shops and nearby buildings destroyed at the site of the blast. Security and rescue personnel rushed to the site of the blast.

Journalists have been instructed to clear the area, which the Rangers have cordoned off for security reasons. Forensic teams are currently present at the site and are collecting evidence as part of the investigation.

An eyewitness speaking to DawnNews said people were coming out of the shops when the bomb explosion took place."There were several bodies at the scene of the blast. It was a very powerful blast."

The Pakis will blame India, Israel, USA, RAW, Mossad, Jews and everyone else on Earth for this. There will be fiery TV debates and assorted morons like Zahil Hamid will spread nonsense conspiracy theories which the Paki public will lap up. After 2 days everything will be back to normal, till the next massive bomb blast.

That's how Pakistan is, that is how they have been functioning from the last 10 years. Nothing new here. Their society is damaged beyond redemption.

Be clear about what you say.
