the same situation like mumbai attacks..A few insurgency people want to take control...i believe 100 % that India behind this all dilemma .and pakistani taliban is working for Raw,and CIA for some money...they are not muslims,dear INDIA has back support from USA.

May be,but mujhe lagta hai CIA ka zyada amal dakhal lagta hai is karwai main.

Attackers bhi 10 puray kiay hain(mumbai attacks main bhi 10 hi thay) ta k hamain shak ho k india ne ye sb kuch karwaya hai.

Ho sakta hye...again local and international media says its intelligence failure jub say ranking wise ISI pehlay number par aye hay CIA ko takleef shuroo ho gaye hain..
