Data Darbaar Lahore Twin Bomb Explosions

LAHORE: the city of garden and hearts again Fear absorbed Thursday night after two suicide blasts in the space of a few minutes at Data Darbar shrine claimed 45 people along with two suicide bombers dead and more than 175 injured. The Lahories were shocked by the attack at the holy place of a saint who is respected as the true custodian of the city.

The attack came on a Thursday night close to local time 10:45 PM PST, measured as a holy day by the faithful. On Thursday nights and early hours of Friday, Data Darbar Complex usually bustles with people: men, women and children, from near and far, out of city visitor.

The bomb attacks took place even though the fact those tight security arrangements were in place in the metropolis, which on the other hand lead to the uneasy feeling that the law enforcers had some aptitude about the risk of a terror strike in Lahore. According to the peoples, police checkes their all kind of baggage, polythen shoppers, even pockets, but why they did not check the heavy explosion terrorists and them easly entered in to shrine. It’s the biggest fault of law enforcement agencies.

In the days earlier the suicide explosions, the Lahore police had conducted house-to-house searches in many city localities, especially in Township area, rounding up scores of people for quizzical. The area around Data Saheb was also combed thoroughly in recent days.

According to details available with reporters only one of the several gates to the shrine was open and everyone who entered was frisked. Yet the terrorists wearing weighty suicide jackets managed to sneak in. The caretakers and other witnesses said one of the two suicide bombers blew himself close to the area where the visitors perform ablutions (wazoo) while a second bomber exploded the mechanism tied to his person in a courtyard inside the shrine complex.

It was also watched in CCTV recording that a terrorist was rushing to target and a caretaker was behind just to capture him. But the terrorist blew himself successfully, peoples who pursued them was came in range of explosion, it cause increase the causalities.

A custodian told to media that given the commandment and regulate in the country, there was this invariable hazards posed to the darbar and those who visited it to seek the Data Saheb’s blessings. He said the occurrence happened even with the fact that security approximately the shrine had been beefed up.

To the people in the street, the shocking terror hit at the darbar, exposed the uselessness of the security apparatus against terrorists who are strong-minded to kill and destruct at any cost. “The matter of domestic unrest is tied to political instability,” commented Azhar Khan, a factory owner who was tremendously disturbed by the news of the explosions. “You can’t have security without political stability.”

And it appeared that the terrorists are determined to slaughter peoples anywhere, the blasts at the holy place removing the (bogus) sense of security that desparate people are wont to utilize as a shield in times dangerous. Until now the feeling had somehow survived that the terrorists had some specific target the enemy in intelligence. If somehow the conjecture is still applicable after the Thursday night’s haphazard aiming at hundreds of faithful gathered at the shrine, it will have to be said that few will be able to claim with any assurance that they are protected from the terrorists’ offensive.

The government did attempt to reinstate public confidence with statements issued in the wake of the attack, but of superior significance on Thursday was the rescue work the government workers undertook along with volunteers. A large number of the injured were taken to Mayo Hospital. Mayo hospital’s Medical Superintendent Dr Zahid Pervez said many of the wounded were in grave condition. Some of the injured were rushed to other government-run hospitals in the city.

As per routine, statements from all the political leaders are come on media, but no further action was taken to stop this series blast line. Government have purchased thousands scanners from china but they are failed to capture the explosion materials.
