A devastating suicide attack at the entrance of the Wagah border parade venue on Sunday killed at least 60 people, including 10 women and seven children, and left more than 110 injured.
A young suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of the parade complex soon after the completion of the flag-lowering ceremony, which is a daily feature at Wagah.
Three officers of the Punjab Rangers and seven members of a family were among the dead in the explosion which was so loud that the bang was heard some 10 kilometres from the border.

@Umer The problem with us Pakistanis is that we blame everyone but ourselves. We believe we are the best Muslims, best culture, best citizens and best everything else. We love to criticize everyone but ourselves. No wonder we are in such a pathetic state

@Umer Fantastic analysis Sir; As long as there are Pakistanis like you that are in denial mode, no external enemy is required to act against Pakistan at all; you probably believe that even the Taliban are peace loving and tolerant, until Indians and Americans force them to practice violence ! Keep up the good work !

@Umer When a man is genuinely sleeping, it is easy to wake him up.
When he is pretending to be asleep, no amount of effort will wake him up.
Your deep hate and jealousy for India will not let you wake up

Security should have been on high alert before 'Wagah Attack'. This should have been expected.

To all the jokers commenting that Pakistanis are to be blamed for the blast: So in your expert opinion, a Pakistani just got up one morning and thought that "you know what, its a boring day. Let me make it more interesting by blowing myself along with a couple of my countrymen. I heard kids look pretty cool when blown up". And then he put on his suicide jacket, took the bus to Wahga border, and just blew himself up.
You see how stupid and full of hatred (and crap) you sound. Pak army has started hunting the "proxies" and now the enemy is trying to save their dearly invested TTP, Ahrarul hind etc etc. There is a saying that your enemy's enemy is your friend. Guess who is Pakistan's enemy and who profits from this barbarism. And yes, I'm talking about you jokers.

@The Reluctant Fundamentalist : Please have some common sense. There is every possibility that the chap who blew himself up planned to come to the venue of the actual "show". Not only would the casualties have been higher, there would have been a greater degree of mutual suspicion. The Indian side did not want to do the "show" the following days, and they truly mourned the loss of so many lives. You have to agree at least that the onus is on Pakistan to sort out its internal problems, and every Indian wishes Pakistan well, because they know deep inside that if Pakistan does not sort it out, the hot cauldron would overflow across to the other side.

Sad. Hope man learns to control the robots he creats. Else it will be same as Pakistani creation of Talibans. Happily they now still accuse India for their own creation.
