Raw strikes again in Lahore By Zaheerul Hassan

30 people were killed and more than 83 injured in a suicide car bomb attack carried on Rescue 15 building located near CCPO office in Civil Lines area. The bomb has destroyed 16 buildings of The Mall Road. In this connection Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has strongly condemned the blast. According to sources, an explosive-laden Suzuki van broke the barriers and tried to reach the ISI building. As result, the building of the Rescue 15 has been completely destroyed in the blast. This is the third time in two months when Lahore has been jolted by the notorious Indian Agency RAW. As per the media repots ,the explosive-laden pick up truck failed to reach the ISI building and blew off at a barrier close to the complex. Reports said some suspects, who were detained in connection with the March 3 terror attack on the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, were inside the ISI office when the blast took place. The ISI building sustained some damage due to the impact of the explosion. There were also reports of sporadic firing in the vicinity. The various news channels said seven bodies have so far been recovered from the debris. The windowpanes of nearby buildings have also been shattered in the blast and many Rescue15 vehicles have been destroyed. The entire building of Rescue 15 has reportedly collapsed in the blast. Security forces have cordoned off the area and shifted injured and bodies to hospitals. Emergency has been announced in local hospitals.

Lahore has been attacked third time this year when Pakistan Security Forces are busy in elimination of insurgency from the country. Almost the same course of action has been adopted while targeting the sensitive buldings of security agencies every time. For example, FIA Building, Navel College Lahore and now the currant blast indicate the same master mind (RAW) behind the incidents. The selection of targets (CPO Office, ISI Headquarter & Rescue 15) itself are pointing towards the clear cut involvement of the RAW in the blast. The question arises why Indian authority is so much interested time again in targeting Pakistan. The reasons could be ‘(one) create instability, (two) support planted Taliban in FATA and Swat area,(three) diverting world attention from state terrorism against Sikhs and minorities ,(four) diverting masses attention from Sikh brutality in Vienna and Harayana , (five) elimination of proves of RAW’s involvement on Sri Lankan Cricket Team,( six ) redirecting Indian masses attention from RAW failure in Sri Lanka, last but not the least.
Now it’s the time that world community should threshed the RAW and India to stop storming terrorism in the neighbouring country and let Pakistan fight with the Taliban with full strength. Pakistan government and security agencies should also keep their eyes and ears open since India is our only enemy who will never like to see peace in the region particular in Pakistan. More specifically we will not wrong in saying that India is going for proxy war against Pakistan.
