GHQ Attack Raises Questions
The vile Taliban have struck three times this week as part of a co-ordinated form of a prelude attack to the Wazirstan operation that is soon to start. Worst of all are always the killing of innocents in Peshawar and Rawalpindi which sicken us all, yet these acts of evil harden our resolve to defeat the sons of Satan that are the Taliban.
That said, the attack on the headquarters of the Pakistan Army do raise some important questions which the Pakistan Army must answer. The questions I wish to put are shown below:
- How did Taliban terrorists enter the GHQ although in army uniform, are there not more stringent checks than just having to wear a khaki uniform ensures access to GHQ and is this not a blatant security lapse?
- Why was security not stepped up after intelligence from the ISI warned of such an attack on GHQ and if not then why not?
- If security was stepped up then what measures were taken and were they sufficient given the terrorists entered GHQ with relative ease?
- How on earth were terrorists allowed to be at large in GHQ and take occupancy of a security office?, where they not engaged by soldiers as they moved into GHQ and was there no CCTV or other security devices that could track their movements?
The Pakistan Army in particular the brave SSG commandos must be lauded for ensuring the safe recovery of most of the hostages, however the Army leadership must look inwards as to how terrorists attacked our premier security installation with ease. Indeed some heads must roll for the attack on GHQ has hurt the morale and the will of the people of Pakistan and dented their confidence in the Pakistan Army.
Remember that the Taliban terrorists numbered a dozen or so, just imagine what a few thousand Indian soldiers could do in GHQ , since it is obvious that the security apparatus and procedures at GHQ are ineffective and below par.
