Shooting at Lankans in Lahore: After the shock, a joke

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's minister of state for shipping Nabil Ahmed Gabol said India is behind the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore on Tuesday, saying the attackers had crossed into Pakistan from India.

"The evidence which we have got shows that these terrorists entered from across the border from India," Gabol told Geo News.

"This was a conspiracy to defame Pakistan internationally."

"This incident took place in reaction to 26/11," he said. It is a declaration of open war on Pakistan by India," said the minister.

NEW DELHI DESPATCH BY DESKTOP DIARIST: Can't blame the Pak minister, though. He is a subcontinental politician with a gigantic foot-in-mouth disease of subcontinental proportions.
