Tragic Blast in Wah (August 21, 2008)

And just when i thought that Musharraf's resignation would bring a breath of fresh air to the country and my happiness was still in full swing that i heard of the blast in Wah, Pakistan. It was a suicide bomb attack in one of the ordinance factories factories there. It happened on August 21, 2008, some time in the afternoon. So many innocent lives taken (more than 100). So many family heads and bread winners blown away in a matter of seconds, leaving their families unprotected among the fierce human kind. Sources (close acquaintances who live in Wah) told that there were even cases where two or more members of the same family got killed in the blast. So many people injured and left helpless in the merciless world.

Who can do such injustice? Who can show such cruelty? It was a sheer act of terrorism. I hope the suicide bombers or the attack organizers are not seeking rewards from Allah. I wish and pray that they get heavily punished for inflicting such pain on so many innocents. May Allah keep us all safe from the clutches of such heinous offenders.
