Perhaps after the Abbotabad incident of 02 May, our securityforces have become trigger happy (a military term used for a soldier whoopens up firing on just suspicion). On 17 May, a police party of Quetta air port police station signalled a suspicious vehicle for search which was coming from Kuchlagh (a town near Quetta) side on National Highway. The driver parked the vehicle near a check post of the Frontier Corps at Bazai Cross, Karotabad in the outskirts of Quetta.The occupants, the so-called militants whoas per story had threatened the police party to blow off themselves if not allowed to proceed further,were 3 women and two men. The security forces opened up fire on them and killed all of them before they reached the check post; not giving them time to surrender. A video clip of this incident on the TV shows a lady raising her hand for sparingherlife. On body search it was revealed that they were Chechens as a blood stained passport of one of the victims was also shown on the TV. To cover up and justify this killing, a verynice story has been built up as usual by the security forces that the occupantsshowed their suicide jackets to the police and then they hurled two grenades on the check post etc. The ground realities and the interview of the locals who were there during the shooting show that these 5 occupants never fired a shot or hurled a grenade or there was any grenade blast. Mere waving of hand of the Chechen girl proves that she wasbegging the police not to kill them. This incident needs going into and the IG FC of Quetta should hold an enquiry whether they were militants/terrorists or innocent tourists I think our security forces should be trained to arrest all such suspicious persons alive for interrogation unless they are attacked by the suspected militants. Anymilitant or terrorist captured alive can prove more useful than a dead one. The American Navy SEALs should also follow this point who killed unarmed Osama in Abbottabad raid, if at all it was Osama bin Laden and not hisdummy A live Osama would have been more useful to America than the dead one as he would have divulgedthe wholeAl-Qaida network and their future plans during investigations. By killing OBL they have failed to finish Al-Qaeda movement. Their operators along with their allies like Taliban have already become more active than before and have also threatened the USA to get ready for their attacks on American outfits all over the world.
