Full Story
Two men apparently blew themselves up outside the factory during a shift change. The bombers were on foot and they exploded themselves less than a minute apart.
The Pakistani Ordnance Factories at Wah is a cluster of about 20 industrial units producing artillery, tank, and anti-aircraft ammunition for the Pakistan armed forces. It employs around 25,000 to 30,000 workers.
Police and security forces cordoned off the area while security has been put on high alert across the country.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has strongly condemned the blasts.
kyoun ke mulla umer and behtuallah mehsud ke mutabiq ye islam main jaiz hai. Kya waqai aisa hai. Pata nahi logon ko kyoun nahi samaj aaraha. In ke khilaf aik he operation ker ke sub khatam karo. Yeh laaton ke bhoot hain baaton se nahi maane ge. Poori duniya main Islam and Pakistan ko budnaam kr rahey han.
^ you cant really secure against suicide bombers though can you without reducing everything to an army bunker.
wherever that security is going to be relaxed, thats going to be a point of attack.
But theres at least 3 check posts where you have to go through before getting close to this place, if you want a car in. I doubt they ever relaxed the security here. Even before 2000 this place was really hard to get into.

^ Yeah, thats what I thought, cuz taking in cars over here isnt that easy, as I mentioned before.
having lived there for many years, I almost agree with you. You have to have a resident pass pasted on your windshield, else you are asked to provide more details, before you can get in.
I always believed there are still ways to get in, take a 'katcha rasta' instead of going through check posts.
Anyways this is very sad event indeed, the location seems familiar when I see these pics on bbc site.
Perpetrators of this heinous crime should be brought to justice.
Please keep politics out of this thread
