Now lets make a begining, how to achieve each milestone to remove the issues highlighted. All the above issues are inter-related and goes in circle.

Proper LOC with Afghanistan to stop trespassing and easy availability of Arms should be considered.

Failure to provide Right EDUCATION is the major problem.

Basic Education shall be given along with basic necessities of life such as food, water, electricity and health centers to improve the overall condition / status of the general masses......

Now guys suggest how to....

Well we can only stop this TERRORISM if...

•Reduce Poverty & Unemployment to NIL so our youth especially can concentrate on their bright future rather than being available to terrorists to carry out their orders of such attacks.

•Eliminate Corruption from all levels so everybody can do justice with their duties.

•Easy & quick JUSTICE system is required so nobody should commit different crimes resulting from vengeance.

•Leader should be held accountable for their every action because “A GREAT LEADER CAN ONLY PRODUCE A GREAT NATION” For example our PROPHET MOHAMMAD (p. b. u. h.)

•We should follow our ISLAMIC LAWS as much as possible in our daily lives. By doing this, our all problems will be solved with ease.

.

Now is the right time to rectify ourselves and follow our RELIGION ISLAM as much as we can to have PEACE OF MIND in our LIVES.

Whats gone wrong and where???

wht made the country so vulnerable and a place of choice by many activists?? requires a look back , though the need of the hour is eradicating all those cancers in its soil.

No more innocents should be killed. whether its pakistan , India or Afghan. Its high time they should get together and act against the common enemy than sitting blaming and denying.

Very often, Terrorist kills upon a very strong kinds of motivation and ideology. Something tells me that this case is not purely political motivated. The best way to catch a theif is by another thief. Set up another terrorist camp to fight terrorist (not an eye for an eye..and the whole world goes blind)

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

seems, we are more worried about our neighbours than themselves.

The major problem is Power of people (power of Democracy) not been provided and absolute misinformation about religion and India is spreaded since years....creating major problem for themselves to control.

In short, political parties, leaders, landlords are using peoples sentiments to come to power but while situation still remained the same or worst after Musharaf's downfall.

Sometime we experience the similar situation in India (UP, Bihar, West Bengal and J&K).

With NO offence, to all my pakistani friends, I am saying whatever I have been informed....please update how we could support to change the current situation at our neighbour homeland?

The siege at the Manawan police training centre near Lahore continued even as unconfirmed reports claimed that two of the attackers have been gunned down

Lahore police training centre attacked, 15 feared dead

Less than a month after the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore, the police training centre in the city has been attacked and as many as 15 are feared killed.

A blast was heard and then the attackers opened fire while entering the camp, reports said, adding that the attackers came from two sides and were wearing police uniforms.

Trainee policemen were doing parade when the attackers came. They scaled the training centre wall and threw grenades on trainee policemen, said media reports.

Eight grenades were lobbed. The attackers are still inside the police training centre, and the firing between them and policemen is still on, the reports added.

As per the reports, around 1500 cadets, who were inside the training camp, have been held hostage by the attackers.

More elite forces have now been called in.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has condemned the attack.

The police training centre is located on outskirts of Lahore, at a place called Munavaan.

Parallels are being drawn with the recent attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore.

This is really sad....people killing their own brothers...

I think the only way is to educate the people (especially those from the poorer section)that terrorism and the call for Jihad are tools used by certain groups to trap and brainwash people who have very little understanding about both politics and religion.

The Imams every where have to tell them that they are being used to spoil the name of the Country & the Religion.

but do you think it is easy to identify the culprits and hang them. Sympathising factor shall be removed only by correcting the doctorine/theory of Jihad and awareness among responsible mass.

The current situation will create a civil war / mutiny in Pak among their own communities.

Again, to have any conclusive action, you need a united force acting on orders from a united govt. As long as there are groups/individuals who 'sympathise' with these terrorist's causes both within the govt and the army, no action will be effective. The moles have to be treated the same way you would a terrorist.

families of bereaved and sense / value of human life to these mad guys, who are killing innocents!

Government could not provide protection to each individual, a country of 170 million people. This is the responsibility of each individual to behave in moral and civilised way.

General mass awareness and procession against terrorism; educate and run workshop to kill this cancer out from the human society.

I really dont't understand with whom they are fighting, suicide bombing in a mosque? a place of worship? omg....what religious faith they belongs to? I felt ashamed of such society!!!

Nothing is working because the government keeps bowing to their requests.

The government either needs to take an aggressive approach and shopw no mercy OR

As in the UK with the IRA, the government needs to bring them into the fold.

Personaly, I think the second option is a non starter.

we need to find "Something"..what exactly has to be done to stop these cruel attacks....

we have tried all measures dialouge, force, reconcilation....nothing is working .....

Well, I guess even the govt knows they need to do 'something'. Problem is nobody knows what exactly that 'something' is.
