What could be worse than cricket???

Terrorists kills members of the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan...
SUSPECTED Islamic terrorists yesterday opened a new front by launching an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, wounding eight team members and killing at least eight people.

The attack, in Pakistan's most cosmopolitan city, bore all the hallmarks of the terror group responsible for November's deadly Mumbai attacks.

Punjabi Governor Salman Tahseer said the 12 masked and heavily armed gunmen who attacked the cricket convoy as it approached the Gaddafi stadium were not ordinary terrorists, but highly trained.

While last night no group had claimed responsibility for the attack, Mr Tahseer said the terrorists appeared to follow the same modus operandi as the Mumbai gunmen, who have been linked to the Pakistani Islamic terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba.

"I want to say it's the same pattern, the same terrorists who attacked Mumbai," Mr Tahseer said.

The terrorists, travelling by rickshaw and taxi and armed with Kalashnikov rifles, rocket launchers and grenades, attacked the Sri Lankan team's bus about 9am (3pm AEDT) as it headed into the stadium for the third day of the final Test match of the series.

Are these "terrorists" home grown or imported? Pakistan needs to get serious very fast about the militant Islam that is practiced and encourged in their country. Until then, all tourists, sportsmen, foreign workers, NGO's and diplomats should beware of the very real danger in travelling and working in Pakistan.
