Here is some really disturbing news. Terrorists attacked Sri Lankan cricketers in Pakistan - first such attack anywhere in the world. Usually Pakistan gives highest level security to visiting cricketers.

Several members of the Sri Lankan cricket team have been injured after gunmen fired on a convoy carrying cricketers in Pakistani city of Lahore.
Some policemen have been killed.
Sorry for the short dairy.
update : Indian team was supposed to be in Pakistan - but got cancelled because of Mumbai attacks. I shudder to think what would have happenned if this attack was on Indian cricketers ....
update 2 : There were 12 masked terrorists. All of them escaped after shooting - according to AajTak Hindi news channel ( on Dish Network that has a free preview now). Video of some terrorists shooting is being shown.

An official says eight members of Sri Lanka's national cricket team have been wounded after gunmen opened fire on their vehicle in Lahore,
Pakistan, AP reports.
Several countries like Australia have repeatedly refused tour Pakistan because of security concerns.
Security concerns have plagued Pakistan for years and some foreign sports teams have refused to play here.
Arguement had always been made that cricketers are safe - I guess no more. This will kill international sports in Pakistan - further isolating the country.
