Sorry for the vanity- I am just monitoring the news Channels here in India and this is on all of them - The Sri Lankan Cricket team, playing a test series against Pakistan has just been attacked by terrorists with assault weapons and grenades. At least 6 of their players have been injured in the chest and leg, 5 guards killed in the attack near the Qaddafi stadium.
The Sri lamkan team replaced India who refused to tour after the Mumbai carnage.
Yikes.
Does anyone else note the irony here?
Those pagan savages ruin everything.
Pakistan attack on cricket convoy
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7920260.stm
Several members of the Sri Lankan cricket team have been injured after gunmen fired on a convoy carrying cricketers in Pakistani city of Lahore.
The convoy was carrying Pakistani and Sri Lankan cricketers to a ground, which is hosting a Test match between the two sides.
Reports quoting Sri Lankan authorities say at least two Sri Lankan players were seriously injured in the incident.
Unconfirmed reports say some policemen had been killed by the shooting.
The incident happened on the road from the teams’ hotel to the Gadaffi stadium, where a Test match is being held.
“It appears that our team bus was targeted on the way to the match. It appears that four of our cricketers have been injured and taken to the hospital,” a Sri Lankan cricket official told an Indian TV channel from Colombo.
At the rate they are going, and being encouraged by Liberals everywhere, they will soon be running everything too.
Yes-it’s named after our dear friend from Libya-for all his help to the Pakis in the 70s, including bankrolling their nukes.
Good call.
It’s the Paki way of saying thank you-Vajpayee got Kargil for opening up in 1999, Manmohan got Mumbai for all his initiatives.
Those pagan savages ruin everything.

Beautiful Indian ship on your Home page.
I hope we not having another attack like Mubari hotel
Unfortunately, the BJP is also in self-destruct mode. Will any of the North Indian BJP satraps allow Modi to become PM? I doubt it. And they have no other leader with a Pan-Indian appeal.
I don’t know how much of a difference Modi would make even if he were PM-the nature of coalition politics (as is evident in recent days) just won’t do it. And Modi was in control of Gujarat, which is unique among Indian states-no-nonsense, pro-business population. Anyway that’s something else.
What I expect is a retaliatory strike-either during the upcoming IPL competition or any big foreign tour of India. I would be seriously surprised if it doesn’t happen.
You're right about the IPL or big foreign tour attacks.:( They can't bear India getting any positive attention.
Huh. I just watched “Anthony Bourdain-No Reservations” Sri-Lanka. They showed a buncha kids playing cricket in one of the scenes. God bless the players.
Freegards
Obviously this attack is due to Sri Lanka’s massive invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq!
