Yikes.

" At least 6 of their players have been injured in the chest and leg, 5 guards killed in the attack near the Qaddafi stadium."

Does anyone else note the irony here?

Pakistan attack on cricket convoy

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7920260.stm

Several members of the Sri Lankan cricket team have been injured after gunmen fired on a convoy carrying cricketers in Pakistani city of Lahore.

The convoy was carrying Pakistani and Sri Lankan cricketers to a ground, which is hosting a Test match between the two sides.

Reports quoting Sri Lankan authorities say at least two Sri Lankan players were seriously injured in the incident.

Unconfirmed reports say some policemen had been killed by the shooting.

The incident happened on the road from the teams’ hotel to the Gadaffi stadium, where a Test match is being held.

“It appears that our team bus was targeted on the way to the match. It appears that four of our cricketers have been injured and taken to the hospital,” a Sri Lankan cricket official told an Indian TV channel from Colombo.

"The Sri Lankan team replaced India who refused to tour after the Mumbai carnage."

Good call.

It’s the Paki way of saying thank you-Vajpayee got Kargil for opening up in 1999, Manmohan got Mumbai for all his initiatives.

Huh. I just watched “Anthony Bourdain-No Reservations” Sri-Lanka. They showed a buncha kids playing cricket in one of the scenes. God bless the players.

Obviously this attack is due to Sri Lanka’s massive invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq!

A troop of renegade Boy Scouts, frustrated by a rain-soaked weekend camp-out?!

The regional ladies’ “Red Hat Society” chapter, juiced up on mimosas?

Nope.

Latest reports in Sydney,Australia was that one of the gunmen actually fired at the bus with an RPG,but thankfully he missed.
All the more reason for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan to start heading south and be prepared to enter Pakistan,because the Al Quaida supporting Taliban insurgents are already there and waiting.

Typical terr cowards! A cricket team? Prayers out to all. I was in Sri Lanka in the mid-80’s. Liked it a lot, very friendly people (didn’t go to the northern areas where the Tamil Tigers were).
Got good shots of friends running from a PO’d cobra. :)
