Quetta, Pakistan – A roadside bomb ripped through a bus in Pakistan Thursday, killing at least 20 Shia passengers and wounding 25 others, local media reported. The blast took place around 6.00 p.m. in Hazarganji area of Balochistan province, Xinhua quoted the Urdu channel AAJ TV as saying. About 50 Shia Muslims were aboard the Quetta-bound bus from Iran.
Eyewitnesses said that the bus was carrying pilgrims from Taftan and it was targeted when it was passing near a fruit market in the Hazarganji area. The vehicle was completely destroyed. Authorities said about 50 kg of explosives were used for the blast. One of the two police vehicles providing security to the bus was also attacked, leaving at least one policeman dead and three others injured.
Police are unsure whether the bus was hit by a car bomb or explosives buried next to the road, said Quetta police chief Mir Zubair Mahmood.
The attack has all the hallmarks of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ, also known as LeJ or SSP) which is an affiliate Jihadi-sectarian organization of Al Qaeda and Taliban. The banned ASWJ-LeJ-SSP has been blamed for a series of attacks on Shias in Quetta and other parts of Pakistan since mid 1980s. Same organization is responsible for series of attacks on Sunni Barelvis and other moderate Sunnis, as well as on Ahmadis and Christians.
It may be noted that attacks on Pakistan’s Shias, Balochs, Pashtuns, Sunni Barelvis, moderate Deobandis and Ahmadis have increased exponentially in the last five years, since November 2007 when Pakistan’s current army chief General Kayani assumed his duties as commander in chief of army and its various intelligence agencies. Due to General Kayani’s allegedly indirect role in massacres of Shias, Balochs, Pashtuns etc, he is known as Butcher Kayani in Pakistan.
A similar attack took place on 18 June 2012 in Quetta, claiming the lives of four Shia students on a bus.
While the ISI-influenced Pakistani media (see reports by Dawn, Pakistan Today etc) and lazy foreign correspondents (see reports by AFP, BBC etc) continue to misrepresent the ongoing attacks on Shia Muslims as a part of Sunni-Shia sectarian violence, there is now a growing perception in Pakistan that it is ISI-backed Jihadi-sectarian militants, not Sunnis, who are responsible for attacks on Shias.
Footage on television showed the bus was reduced to a mangled heap of blackened metal. Rescue workers and local residents could be seen pulling bodies and injured out of the bus. Later, a crane was brought in to pry apart the twisted metal so that the injured could be removed. Sources are facing difficulties identifying the victims as several martyrs’ bodies are unrecognizable.
Only 10 have been identified till now.
1. Baba Ali
2. Taswer Nisa
3. Hussain Ali
4. Ejaz Ali
5. Muhammad Ali
6. Shah Hussain
7. Amir Hussain
8. Ali Yawar
9. Roshan Ali (Police ASI)
10. Ghulam Rasool (Police Constable)
Yet another incident where Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (Sipah-e-Sahaba / Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat) will accept responsibility, government ministers will condemn, interior minister will blame foreign powers, relatives will grieve, mothers will wail after their lost sons and daughters, perpetrators will continue living a sheltered existence in a morally corrupt system and society. In the meanwhile, army will continue with fake attacks on prisons to secure release of their trained assets while the judiciary will continue to find inadequate evidence against Malik Ishaq to convict him.
While Pakistan’s civilian government is asleep, military is securing release of arrested terrorists through prison breaks, judiciary is releasing self-confessed Jihadi-sectarian terrorists, media is either silent or misrepresenting ISI-sponsored Shia genocide as Sunni vs Shia sectarian violence of Hazara vs Baloch/Pashtun ethnic violence, it is important that all oppressed groups, Shias, Balochs, Pashtuns, Ahmadis, moderate Sunnis etc remain united against killers and their mentors and facilitators.

Since 2007, Butcher Kayani has overseen an increasing number of massacres of Shias, Balochs, Pashtuns and other oppressed groups.
Butcher Kayani is responsible for murders of more Shias than any of his predecessor in Pakistan.
He was ISI chief from 2004 to 2007 and from 2007 to date he is army chief, the most powerful man in Pakistan.
Under his leadership, army has continued to have illicit links with Taliban, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Jamaat-ud-Dawa and other terrorist groups. Same groups are responsible for murder of Shias, Balochs, Pashtuns, Ahmadis, moderate Sunnis, Christians in Pakistan.
In October 2004, Ashfaq Kayani was made the director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). He led the ISI during a bleak period, with insurgencies in North-West Pakistan and Balochistan, Abdul Qadeer Khan’s nuclear proliferation scandal, and waves of suicide attacks throughout Pakistan emanating from the northwestern tribal belt. In October 2007, after three years, he was replaced at the ISI by Lt Gen Nadeem Taj. In October 2007, Kayani was promoted as a full general, and made the Vice Chief of Army Staff. At the time of promotion, Kayani superseded one officer, Lt Gen Khalid Kidwai who was on an extension for a year. He took over as the new army chief of Pakistan Army after Musharraf’s retirement on November 28, 2007.
His two brothers are currently alleged to be involved in massive corruption in NLC logistics and also NATO supplies.
Butcher Kayani is the master mind behind the Difa-e-Pakistan Council and PTI.
He is the same man who restored a pro-Taliban Chief Justice in the guise of a fake movement in which right wing lawyers and Sipah-e-Sahaba activists were united with PML-N.
While Pakistan’s media continues to remain silent or worse misrepresents Shia genocide, LUBP offers an alternative view, the voice of truth.
Jeo Hussainio
in today’s busy world, we’d be lost without them. The logistics of the modern world and business place simply demands that things can be transported about business premises with ease, where possible automation taking over what goes where.
again very sad incident held in quetta, area of Quetta targeted a bus carrying pilgrims from Taftan to the provincial capital and more than 25 shia people kill by BLA
