There you go. Looks like grenades in Pakistan sell like potatoes. Why can't the government identify and banned these sort of armers coming to the country? Which countries are producing these grenades? And how do a common Pakistani gets these grenades? Or these sick people are so much intelligent that they can create grenades from scratch? Some serious questions need to be answered.
