Pakistani police hunted on Wednesday for gunmen who mounted the bold attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore and officials scrambled to figure out who was behind it.
The attack which killed eight people, six of them Pakistani police, plunged Pakistan into a "state of war," Rehman Malik, the prime minister's interior adviser, said.
"Be patient, we will flush all these terrorists out of the country," he added.
Six members of the Sri Lankan team and a British coach were wounded in the daylight attack as their bus approached the cricket stadium. None was so seriously hurt they had to be left behind when the squad departed for Colombo on Tuesday night.
The Pakistanis need to learn that they must wage relentless war against the jihadis, for the jihadis will wage relentless war against them.
You cannot make a deal with the Devil.
