Sri Lankan cricket team attacked by terrorists, five police escorts dead

I was planning to watch some of this match when I got home. It's just another example of how many sick people are in the world.

This one's tricky. Was it Pakistani home-grown terrorists? Or Tamil Tigers taking their act on the road?

 

Some of the wire stories I've read are saying the attackers were bearded men in their 20s who bore a resemblance to tribes from the North West Province. Sounds like it's an attempt to sabotage one of the few things going well for Pakistanis at the moment.

 

From a Pakistani government standpoint they'd really like this to be a Tamil Tiger attack but I seriously doubt it was.

 

You have to be a real scumbag of a terrorist to attack a sports team.

 

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Sports venues are easy targets.

 

Maybe, but the terrorist group risks severely jeopardizing their cause if they disturb something loved by the masses.
