  • Infuriating and very sick thing to happen to these people. I hope the perpetrators get their justice three fold.

    • From BBC News an hour ago:

      ---------

      The Sri Lanka cricket team has arrived home from Pakistan after masked gunmen opened fire on its bus in Lahore.

      Six policemen and a driver were killed in the ambush and eight members of the cricket touring party were injured.

      The team's return to Colombo saw emotional reunions with anxious family members at the international airport.

      Meanwhile, the police hunt for the gunmen continues in Pakistan as officials try to establish who is responsible for the attacks.

      Up to 14 gunmen were involved in the attack on the Liberty Square roundabout in the heart of Lahore.
