The tip-off probably came from the TTP. Who could've known about the bomb would have been in fertilizer sack besides the perpetrators themselves??! I don't know but the negotiations should be seriously thought over because they have murdered 24 people in Islamabad. I mean what is this nonsense?? First they accuse the government of violating the ceasefire and then murder 24 civillians!!

Its probably the work of the ASSP / LeJ who are after the Imambrgahs in that area. The operation in Karachi also targets these groups so this is good news.

@Shuaib: i hope u know Bloch militants took responsibility for Islamabad attack. i am not saying that TTP are good, just trying to say some of the militants want peace and they should get peace but those who don't want peace, should also be given peace but in six feet under ground.
