At least 12 people were killed and 27 others wounded on Tuesday in an attack on Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, according to officials. It was the first major attack to hit the city in more than a decade and comes as Pakistan is facing a resurgence of assaults by several insurgencies.

Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility.

Chickens are coming home to roost.

Pakistan practically created Taliban, and gave them lots of support.
Now Taliban is turning on them!

They are the ultimate Islamic scammers n parasites. They know every immigration and welfare benefit scams. Housing scams. They could teach a thing or two to our Minnesota Somalis.

They are experts at collecting benefits while vacationing in Pakistan for months. They marry wife or husband from Pakistan. This way the Pakistan family has to pay the UK family for establishing an family immigration beachhead. They run the “curry shop” in UK and many of the Fish n chips.
