Another victim of strategic depth and peace talks with terrorists.

Respects to the departed soul. May life be sacred for one and all.

Truly, this is a heart wrenching story. Imagine, her future, what she could have done. All destroyed because of sub human barbarians. And the lion of Punjab, the Cricketer, Nisar wants to negotiate with these sad sorry specimens?

Inna Lillah was Inna Ilahe Rajiyon. So sad! May Allah give sabr to her family.. and open the doors of hell for those who master minded and executed it.

If our politician is not doing enough then what Pakistani people can do about it?

@a concerned person: Why you guys always blame politicians.Its very easy to point fingers. They are chosen by people of Pakistan so they REPRESENT us.

What type of justice and compassion can one expect under the Taliban? They are willing to bring down the edifice, blow up the justice system that exists, and uproot society. Welcome to the brave new world of the Taliban - strategic depth anybody?

So tragic and outrageous. We should do whatever we can to bring these terrible times to an end. Apparently this particular terrorist group is based out of Attock (Punjab). If our military is able to exterminate them all, we should totally go for it. And if they're incapable of achieving that, we should follow the old British policy of "divide and conquer" by isolating the irreconcilable and crushing them while rehabilitating the rest and educating the masses. Either way, we need to do something fast... we can't let another Fizza die in vain, esp. in KP where a Fizza dies pretty much everyday at the hands of these inhumane terrorists.

I blame PM Nawaz for her murder. He failed to provide security to her. Uncle Mikael

There is no career and future in Pakistan.

Another land mark of Taliban for "Nifaz-e-Shariat." Congratulations to JI, PTI, Moulana Abdul Aziz, and Moulana Fazalur Rehman and Talibani Apologits.

So average life of Human being in Pakistan is 25 years.

RIP! I am ashamed of the leaders of my country, who fail to provide security to the citizens.

@Sunil Sinha: There is no life here....

RIP - Inna Lillah hay wa inna allahay raj-e-ooon Case should be registered against Interior Minister who assured few days ago that Islamabad is a secure city. These so called leaders have their family members settled outside Pakistan so they don't care if people lose their children. May Allah help us to get rid of such leaders

That a tragedy. Who is responsible for this, where were the Police, Is there any security system within the court jurisdiction. These are the questions every Pakistanis are asking. Will somebody take the responsibility and resign?

Well Malala was all in the news, for what? what about Fiza? But ofcourse not no one will take it up no one will cry for her no one will light candles for her. CH Nisar aka Dabang Khan! should hand in resignantion, NAWAZ gov has failed period, PTI has Failed, JUI never realy existed in my books and PPP is being run by a kid. So it wont be wise for us to bank our hopes on these crooks and power hungry traitors of the country. Bring Back the Khakis!!!! before anyone comments on bringing back the khakis, let me tell you democracy is good if there is a state, without a state there is no democracy!

I wonder what the reaction of the Govt would have been had it been Nawaz Sharif's daughter .

That is so Tragic. I am thinking of her parents who would have dreams for her, all shattered because of a few illittreate scumbags.

I really feel sad for this girl and also for many other humans who r becoming victims of one or other kind of terrorism here in pakistan.i dont know to what extent this barbarism will be continued.i personally want to leave this country for this hopelessness prevailing day by day.

Whatever fraction or unknown group claimed responsibility of this attack ... What kind of so called fighters attack defenseless, innocent people? who kills women? Not that it matters anymore, but please correct the information in the news. According to the family's interview on news yesterday, she was a graduate of "Northumbria University" Newcastle and had just returned from abroad.

God Save Pakistan

Pak lost another aspiring soul ! What a tragedy God knows how many such souls we lost over the past decade . Had they lived ,they could have contributed enormously to our society .Our loss !!

We have all died with you with this shameful and dastardly act, Fizza. RIP. Shame on a nation that allows this to go on, and on, and on, making a thousand excuses for inaction. I can see the end approaching fast. Sad. Very sad........

My heartiest feelings are the bereaved family of the departed soul. May her soul be in everlasting peace!

It is time we can not put everything to God, we should fight in reality.

unfortunately we make many criminals heroes and our media is making hypocrisy, interviewing these criminals, using them in their talk shows although they are not accepting the constitution and they are now representing taliban.

@Musa: It's heart breaking story of her life and unjust murder, her murder is murder of nation and govt has lost its mandate for rule this country. being pakistani i feel ashamed.

it seems like our nation has become numb to such atrocities committed by totally inhuman people. We lack resolve and commitment to deal with these terrorists. The state seems incapable of protecting its people except the few in power and position. It seems the nation has lost its soul.

The media should do this more often i.e. bring to light the people who fall victim to these barbaric acts. Unfortunately we seldom hear about the life stories of your average Pakistanis, who are just as much dear to their family as this unfortunate lady here, but since she is highly educated and apparently good looking the media knew that this story would sell. life of every person should carry equal weight and I am in now way trying to downplay this particular tragedy, I just hope they give all these people a face and name and not just a casualty figure to quote. May her soul rest in peace Ameen.

it seems pakistan has become graveyard for able and talented people....

It is traumatic to read about any young vivacious life being cut tragically short. My sincere condolences to her family, hope Almighty gives them the strength to bear this sudden loss. May her Soul RIP !

Why Fizza!!!!!!

@muzammil ullah khan: What are you talking about never mind Nawaz Sharif's daughter these barbaric and inhuman terrorists are incapable of doing anything like this and it won't surprise me if some of our politicians and these religious leaders have some kind of association with these terrorists. They are only capable of doing such atrocities to common people only.

My condolence for Fizza Malik Family, May the departure soul rest in heaven. Bar council should hold condolence reference and Government should declare award

Many brilliant minds have been lost just due to selfish attitude of government (frankly speaking wealthy careless families of Pakistan)

Really sad. An educated women, a hope for our future. Gone because of this madness that we dare not define. What a loss. Rest in peace.

A flower that had not yet bloomed........INNA LILLAHHA WA INA ILLAHIRAJIOON

All I can say is shame on all those who are still trying to hide behind negotiations with the killers and murderers. My sincere condolences to the family of Fizza Malik and all those who lost their life.

If this how the life of a young aspiring Pakistani is going to end " cut short", then I am afraid Pakistan will soon be deprived of youth willing to work for their country. Only way to stop TTP is by using brute force. The ceasefire will just give them an opportunity to regroup and revive.

@Concerned Pakistani: Cannot be more agreed. Must be crushed once and for all.

if i was the PM i would have gone to her house and swear on her dead body that i will not sit in peace unless i catch and bring to justice these barbarians...... perpetrators should be hanged in public !

Folks Write directly to the powers (Pres, PM, Interior, CJ and COAS) give them no excuse to be cowardice and complacency. If they don't do it then it will be for people to defend themselves.

Looks like these agents of death are digging a very big hold in Pakistan's own backyard.

@Concerned Pakistani: This thing happened in urban location . How you use jet fighter tank or heavy military in city? It is the people who give intelligence of there surrounding .We keeping losing these bright people as long we people don't changer thinking.

@Concerned Pakistani: Agree with that completely. I don't understand why in the first place is there the mention of 'negotiations' or 'talks' with the TTP. You don't negotiate or talk to criminals. Its like acknowledging their power and control.

You beautiful, ambitious daughter of Pakistan.You could become a distinguished and brilliant lawyer of Pakistan.But the ferocious terrorists exterminated you to be buried along with all your ambitions and aspirations.Now may your soul rest in eternal peace. Aasman Teri Lahad Par Shabnam Afshani Kare

Another bright Pakistani lost to perpetual violence. So sad and so callous. May the departed soul of the girl rest in peace. May her family bear the loss.

@A Kureshi: We arent sensible enough to elect people like you. :/

@zafar: First Truth is murdered as in blaming others for all the ills. After that every one and every thing gets murdered. Has the lessons been learnt yet? No sir, On every talk show so called enemies of Pakistan are blamed while real culprits laugh !

I do not have the words to express my sorrow, only tears. May Allah forgive her sins and give her Janat ul Firdos. Ameen.

Really tragic. We need to publish names, pictures and aspirations of all the victims of these bombings instead of leaving them as a number after every attack. Kudos to Dawn and shame on the TTP.

@muzammil ullah khan:Agree brother. The life of a common Pakistani has become so cheap.

A very sad commentary on the current state of affairs, this should be an eye opener for those who are talking of negotiating peace talks. Our heads hang in shame, don't know about the people at the helm of affairs who were making tall claims that Islamabad is safe. May Allah rest her soul in peace and give strength to the bereaved family for this irreparable loss. Amen.

They don't really care about us.

All of those comments that I have read, In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life in Pakistan: it goes on

@Concerned Pakistani: Hazarron sall nargis apni benoori pay roti hai bari mushkil is hota hai chaman mein deedawar paida

"In a preliminary report on Tueday, the IG stated that 47 policemen had been on duty on Monday of a total of 66 deputed at the court premises". . . "The secretary informed the court that all the three walkthrough gates and close circuit television (CCTV) cameras/equipment inside the Court premises had been dysfunctional". (Dawn Front Page "42 threat alerts given, SC informed"). The question is how many of those police men on duty responsible for the safety and security of everyone in the court challenged or confronted the attackers? Had they done their job properly could this loss of precious lives be prevented? and why were the CCTV cameras/equipment not functional? Who is responsible for their maintenance? Mourning and blaming the terrorists aside, we must ensure that our security forces/apparatus must be in full action to prevent and investigate such incidents.

@Baku: khoob yaad dilaya . hazarooon saaal bhi yay quam in darindoon ki drandigaat par roooay. magar is chaman main koi darinda sharminda nahi hota

@Shanzay: because they are zealots and uneducated for most of the part just follow what they are told without thinking if they were really educated they would know what knowledge is all about so God help them to real taaalib ILM and and not mere aspiring for ilm and kill people.

The reason for all these terrorist acts is the wrong education given to these people by some of our madrassas. But neither Govt. nor the public is giving any attention to this. A serious effort needs to be done by Govt. In this regard; othervise you will continue to suffer from these ill-educated finatics who have no respect for human life.

@Mehreen Rehman, Barrister & Solicitor: It was strange to read that a police person was present with the slain judge in the Judge Chamber room at the time of shooting but he did nothing to save the judge. Why Action has not been taken against all the police persons present at the court as they did nothing.

Alas, but our people are still calling these terrorist as beloved brothers... in their opinion these Taliban are just struggling to have islamic sharia in this country... i am afraid days will come when this country will known as Islamic Republic of Taliban... sorry to say this :-(
