Breaking News: Sri Lankan Players Attacked

with Grenades, rocket launchers and what not in Lahore, Pakistan.

Four members of the Sri Lankan team are injured.

Just heard 8 players were injured . . . . the end of cricket in Pakistan?

Samaraweera and Tharanga are the ones have been injured.

Muralitharan escaped.

Very very sad indeed.

Test match stands cancelled.

Five policemen have been killed in this incident.

Pak can surely forget about hosting cricket matches anytime soon.

I think this formalizes end of international cricket in Pakistan.

So this was the president level security PCB were assuring everyone reluctant to visit Pak?

Absolutely horrible new this.

I pray for SL players safety.

Very sad indeed. Well, that's it for Pakistan. No one will tour there for at least the next 5 years.

Apparently Ajantha Mendis and Jayawardene also hurt.

Sanga too according to latest.

Cross-fire lasted for 25 minutes.

Imran must be hiding now.

Pak got to understand that it has huge problem on its hands.

"Five policemen have been killed in this incident."

My thoughts to their families. Obviously that's a graver issue than anything to do with cricket.

One player has been hit in the chest and one in the leg, but both are expected to survive.

Total number of players injured are now said to be 8

Unconfirmed ...

Sanga hit on chest and Mendis on thigh.

"Pak got to understand that it has huge problem on its hands."

So many government leaders have suffered assassination attempts (some successful) that I am sure they do realise they have a huge problem.
