ஷியா பிரிவை சேர்ந்த 4 சிறுவர்கள் சுட்டுக்கொலை சுன்னிகள் வெறியாட்டம்

சுன்னி அல்லாவை திருபதி படுத்த ஷியா பிரிவு சிறுவர்கள் நால்வரை சுட்டுக்கொன்றுள்ளனர் சுன்னி இஸ்லாமிய பயங்கரவாதிகள்.

காபிர்கள் கிடைக்கவில்லை என்றால், ஷியா பிரிவினர் மீது ஏறுகிறார்கள் போலிருக்கிறது

Death at school
Thursday, September 10, 2009


Four schoolboys were killed and several others injured when gunmen opened fire on them near their school. All are said to have been aged under 16 years. The attack, carried out according to eyewitnesses by Taliban militants, is believed to be sectarian in nature. The boys targeted were all Shia. The incident triggered an angry response from anti-Taliban tribesmen, who killed at least three militants as fierce clashes broke out. This retaliatory action will of course do little to console the families of the dead. Nor will it necessarily prevent other killings like it from taking place. The indications of an expansion in sectarian violence across the tribal areas are alarming. The Kurram Agency has already been ravaged by it. Indeed tensions continue and the main road into the principal town of Parachinar remains blocked. Calls from local people to intervene have too often gone unheeded. The tragic shooting in Orakzai is a direct outcome of the failure to tackle problems when they occur, allowing them to grow terrifyingly in proportion.

This applies too to the matter of the Taliban. In many places these militants remain able to operate at will. There is as yet no real estimate as to their numbers and strength. But the effort to eradicate them must be stepped up. Merely driving them out of Swat is insufficient. Indeed some accounts suggest the militants have merely moved into other areas. A strategy which can rid people of the terror they inflict must be worked out. There must be no more deaths along the lines of those seen in Orakzai. Local people have made clear their outrage over the act of violence. They must now be involved in an effort to make their areas safe again so the lives of ordinary people can continue without the fear of violence and the senseless spilling of blood.
