So, expect things to go worse since the violence and anarchy is result of unemployment and lack of other opportunities. Enjoy the fruits of exploding population. Family planning people repeat family planning

But NOW the TTP say they don't believe in killing of innocents, don't they ? What about their arrogant acceptance on hundreds of bombings in the past ? If now they have changed their thinking then they should apologize for the past massacres.

It appears to be a cause of not paying the "bhataa!" as this is one of the most eating places in the city!
