The twin blasts that rocked Karachi yesterday, claiming 25 lives, destroying Jinnah Hospital’s emergency section, shattering self confidence and sense of security of hundreds, were another installment of the compensation that Pakistan is receiving for playing its part in American War on Terror.

People of Karachi have not yet recovered from the wave of destruction that passed 40 days back. We are still unaware of who did the Ashura Blast and the arson that followed it. Who are real culprits, the master-minds, who gave instructions to the youth who professionally torched and looted buildings, as captured on the CCTV footage.

As happened at the time of Ashura blast, government claimed yesterday that the blasts were suicidal. This is a default, knee jerk, reaction of our administration these days. They believe that labeling a blast as suicide attack voids them from taking any investigative responsibility and you know, “We can’t prevent suicide attacks, they happen in Iraq as well”.

I wish somebody can ask one question to the rulers and ministers, who travel in bullet-proof / bomb-proof cars, escorted with dozens of heavily armed vehicles. When they appear in public, they are surrounded by thick wall of body guards. I want to ask how different Pakistan is from Iraq now? Yesterday 40 people were killed in Karbala and 25 in Karachi. They say we have nuclear capabilities so no one can dare attack us. But who needs an external enemy when we are ambushed, wounded and butchered from inside. We do not know who attacks us, our enemy is invisible and we can not retaliate.

I wish somebody ask these high-ups what we gonna do with the nukes now?

Karachi is burning again, the dogs had another field day yesterday.
