My Uncle Met a Suicide Bomber!
submitted 11 months 4 days 6 hours ago by: mahrukhahsan : 11 commentsA few days ago my uncle met a suicide bomber - accidentally.
He was in Peshawar on a business trip. While on his way to work a teenage boy asked for a ride and my uncle, the sympathetic soul that he is, was happy to drive him where ever he wanted to go.
A few minutes later, though, he was forced to regret his decision when the kid pulled out a revolver from under his shirt and revealed that he was wearing explosives too. The boy told my uncle to drive around Peshawar in search of a government owned vehicle so that he could blow it up (and the innocent people around it, of course).
After an hour of trauma for my uncle and a pleasureable ride for the young man, the boy finally thought it wise to quit trying to kill himself (and so many others) for the day (or so it seemed). He gave my uncle Rs.1000, a fare for driving him around, and expressed his sorrow over the fact that my uncle could not attain shahadat today! He then thanked him and left. Later that day though Peshawar did witness a suicide attack on a Shiite mosque by a 'teenage boy'!
Which heaven do they seek, i ask?! What kind of a "martyr" dies in the name of Allah and takes with him so many others who do not wish to die?!

Your uncle is an extremely lucky man!
How come he didnt report the incidence to the authorities (or what remains of them)
He was scared out of his wits and returned back to lahore without even attending to the business he was there for.
These incidences are increasing! I came across a letter-to-the-editor in Dawn today. Have a look! You'll have to scroll down to the letter entitled "Suicide Bomber".
Dawns editorial "Dying to Kill" also talked about this issue today!
People please beware of suicide bombers! Don't give anyone a ride in your vehicle!!!!
I read in 'Letters to Editors' columns, published in Daily Dawn's edition of 7th feb ,regarding a similiar incident in Karachi .A man asked THE DRIVER OF A PRIVATE VEHICLE for lift and asked HIM to search for a Rangers vehicle. Luckily,the car went out of fuel and the SUICIDE BOMBER managed to escape.
I gues I have referred to the same letter
Yes, you have!:)
This is really scary!! What do these people get out of blowing themselves up?!
The 1st suicide bomber was FATIMA MARYAM who was a university students, blown herself in an israili checkpost in palastine. that incident was of 80's. it was a reaction of israilian bombarment on Plastine refugee camps(shiblia and qateeba).
No one blow him or herself without a motive....money can't buy a suicide bomber.
We have to understand the psychy of those people whom had received burnt bodies of sisters and daughters in LAL MASJID CONTROVERSY. We can't neglect the emotions of Mehsoods and orakzais who are being bombared day and night for just US' pleasure.
But sad part of it is that they are killing innocent people..they should target CHOUHDRIES and others.
A fewdays ago i talked to a SSG personale who is currently fighting in PARACHINAR. According to him they are not happy with civilian killing. trueces of foreign intervention observed during operation. Game is being played on international chess board and pakistanies are on CHECK..MAY GOD SAVE US FROM MATE.
No Mianjee, suicide bombers shouldn't target anyone. The choudaries are human too (complete low lifes, yes, but human, nonetheless). I'm sure there's some other reason for this influx of bombers. Like, today i was reading a letter to the editor in Dawn titled "Suicide Bombers" and this person says that maybe some angency might be using an LSD drug to control the minds of people and get them to become suicide bombers.
Can this really be true?
This is the letter i was referring to in my previous post:
Suicide bombers

I WAS astonished by the number of young suicide bombers being brain-washed and persuaded to willingly die and kill innocent persons, until I remembered reading about ‘mind control’ experiments conducted with LSD by the American CIA in the 70s on foreign students in the US, despite a ban on such experiments by the US Congress.
Could it be possible that some agency (foreign or local) is using the same LSD in raising an army of ‘believers’ willing to kill and be killed. Will someone check it out?
LSD is a hallucinatory drug whose users have vivid dreams and whose after-effects require treatment to overcome the same and which can otherwise take years to wear off.

MAH RUKH,
While there is brain washing then no drug needed....i remember the time when Kashmir movement was on full swing.....no one gave us drugs and we toured jihadi camps many times(note at that time our govt was on support)
in 1965 war no LSD was available and in CHWINDA(sialkot) major tufail's company did suicide bombing against indian tanks.
Last days Qazi said a real thing" the amarican led war has nocked at GHQ doors"
He commented on suicidal attack at GHQ GATE.
