Pakistani bloggers appalled by attack on Sri Lankan cricket team...

The Pakistani blogosphere is buzzing with comments on the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore. In general there is a sense of shock and great sorrow for the dead policemen and a driver, and the injured cricketers.

While there is much speculation over who is to blame, many are appalled that cricket has been targeted.

On the site www.pakpositive.com Ahsan says the attackers have struck at the cultural heart of Pakistan: 

"…international cricket is dead in Pakistan for the medium term...nothing binds Pakistanis quite like the love of cricket, and if anything was going to convince the majority of pundits, public figures, and average Pakistanis of the threat of capitulation or indifference in this struggle, it would be an attack on cricket."
