So, I heard someone on the news today saying that the Pakistani police essentially did nothing during this attack. The police, of course, deny this. However, it reminded me of the Pakistani police officer on the BBC news the other night who said something like this; "the shooting started and I fell to the ground and began to pray".
Lets hope our police don't start using this praying strategy as their first response, because if they do, in my opinion, we are all in big trouble. You will note that six policemen and two civilians died in this attack.
The following is from Wikipedia:
The Sri Lankan cricket team attack occurred on March 3, 2009, as a convoy carrying Sri Lankancricketers in a bus was fired upon by 12 gunmen, near the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan.[1] The cricketers were on their way to play the third day of the second Test against the Pakistani cricket team. Six members of the Sri Lankan cricket team were injured. Six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed.Source: Wikipedia
