12 Terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan Cricket Team today in Lahore. The attack took place at 9am today. The terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan team bus outside the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. 7 Sri Lankan Cricketers have been injured and 5 policemen have been killed in the attack.
The attack looks similar to the Mumbai Terrorist attack which took place last year. The terrorists were carrying backpacks and lots of weapons. Grenades, Rocket Launchers and AK-47’s were used in the daring attack on the Sri Lankan Cricket team. The Sri Lankan Team was airlifted from the Gaddafi Cricket Stadium using a Helicopter. Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paranavitana have been taken to the Hospital, while others had minor injuries.
This is one of a kind attack where a Cricket team has been attacked. This incident has shown the World the current situation in Pakistan where Taliban has been gaining momentum. It also shows that the World should make sure that the Terrorist Camps in Pakistan should be destroyed. This incident has clearly shown Pakistan’s lack of interest in controlling the terrorist menace.
The World is shocked after seeing the incident. The Indian Cricket Team wore Black Arm Bands while playing the 1st One Day Match against New Zeland. In Sri Lanka, the opposition is blaming the Sri Lanka Cricket Chief for sending the Cricket Team to Pakistan.
"The good news is that they [the team] are all safe," Jayasuriya said. Chaminda Vaas who witnessed the Terrorist Attack said “ I ducked when the firing started.” A Sri Lanka Cricket Official said "We are trying to bring the team back as quickly as possible. The test match has been cancelled".
Sangakkarra has a sharpnel wound in his right shoulder. While other players have minor injuries. The firing continued for 15 minutes and the bus driver was injured in it.
