ATTACK ON SAMI IBRAHIM: It is becoming a pattern and those doing it are not stopping. They dont realise they can do it now but will regret tomorrow or next day. As Zardari said "You will retire and Look at those who did this few years ago and have now vanished." Stay strong Sami.

Master planners of the attack on journalist, Sami Ibrahim, have also demonstrated that they have no respect for the sanctity of religious festival of Eid al Azha, a violation of "Abrahamic Code of Honour" – shows how their minds & morals have degenerated! https://t.co/BnmO09EXuu
