Gunmen shoot Sri Lanka cricketers

Seriously, the Pakistani government should do something and get a grip on its citizens. The number of terrorists in Pakistan and their abominable behaviour are getting out of control!

Re: Gunmen shoot Sri Lanka cricketers

I actually agree with JFF this time! No one shoots at cricketers! No one! No matter what country they come from! They are still part of the cricketing family! & I take offense 3 Aussie's were on that bus! This makes me very sad & angry. I LOVE MY CRICKET!!!

Re: Gunmen shoot Sri Lanka cricketers

I mourned the loss of Benazir Bhutto, and now this.

It is a very bad thing. And bad for Cricket lovers in Pakistan, too!

I think the Pakistani Govt has a very difficult task ... I hope they succeed in stemming the rising tide of violence, for the sake of everybody.

Re: Gunmen shoot Sri Lanka cricketers

Everyone is angry over the incident. It was a most mindless and descapible attack by cowardly and despicable people on innocent victims.

The faces of four suspects have been identified: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7925501.stm

I love cricket, and I just can’t believe something like this could happen to peace-loving people who are involved in the sport. I hope those responsible for the incident will be arrested and brought to justice soon.

Re: Gunmen shoot Sri Lanka cricketers

Justice is very desired these days. They have heavily armed guards in South Africa just in case, now. For protection over the Aussie's & SA's for the test matches over there. I was reading the paper the other day & the comments of cricketers about the attack. An Aussie, Cameron White, Victorian  Captain, said it was the September 11 of cricket. Ricky Ponting, Aussie Captain, said he was astounded & doubted anyone would play in Pakistan for a long time.

(Well, Jane it seems we have something common after all).

Pakistan: The greatest threat

The militants who attacked the Sri Lankan cricket team also have Britain and the US in their sights, according to The Independent.
