So Terrorist reached to College professors as well. I am surprised by the tax ratio paid by Pakistani tax payers and the services they got against them. Pakistan has almost two dozen different security agencies and all the staff of those agencies are getting salaries from tax payers money. So What did they do just send them home so as some money can be saved by this way
