LAHORE: Cellular and data services were blocked in some parts of the country, including Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta and Multan.
Federal Minister for Interior Senator A. Rehman Malik said that mobile
phone service will be suspended in some cities/areas of the respective
provinces due to possible terror activities.
While talking to Media on Sunday after chairing a high level meeting,
Rehman Malik said terrorists can strike on Eid days in Sindh, Punjab
Balochistan.
Guess these terrorists will have to be content with using landlines instead. Shutting down cell phones in the name of security is not acceptable, it is total failure of the Government. I will give them props for trying, however. It's a step.
On the bright side...I won't be flooded with forwarded SMS Eid wishes.
P.S. Happy Eid Mubarak all those muslims reading this blog!
