A more through background check by a third party of the staff employed for players. Not something like this: Mehar Mohammed Khalil, the bus driver whose smart thinking and rapid reaction saved the lives of Sri Lankan cricketers on Tuesday, is the brother of a mujahideen fighter killed by the Indian army in Kashmir in 1995, reports The Times, London. And back home, Khalil himself is a supporter of the Jamaat-e-Islami, a legal Islamist political party that wants to impose sharia across Pakistan. He also believes that the 03/03 attackers were Indians. Khalil's story hardly detracts his act of courage. But it does typify the curious contradictions that exist in Pakistan society. The 38-year-old Khalil lives with his parents and brothers in a small house built by his grandfather in Lahore's overcrowded Yateem Khana district. As he spoke to the reporter, a relative whisked away a photograph of his dead brother, Shakil, "with a Kalashnikov rifle over his shoulder, a camouflage cap on his head and a radio in one hand", The Times reported. "Printed in Urdu across the photograph were the words: Mujahid martyred in Kashmir. Died in Udhampur, India, 25 August 1995. Codename: Abdullah." Newspaper records show that on August 24, 1995, a terrorist codenamed Abdullah, owing allegiance to the Harkat-ul-Ansar, was indeed killed during an attack on an army camp in Bandipore. But Bandipore is in Kashmir whereas Udhampur (mentioned in the photograph, is in Jammu. In between posing for photographs with the Sri Lankan team shirt given by the grateful players, the staunch Jamaat supporter told The Times, "this attack would never have happened under Jamaat". The bus driver works for New Diamond travel agency and earns 15,000 Pakistani rupees per month. Father of two sons and two daughters, Khalil was rewarded with Rs 5 lakh for his heroic action. Like most Pakistanis, he was unwilling to consider the possibility that the attackers were homegrown. He seemed convinced that they were from India. "Their complexions were Indian-type," he said authoritatively. "They were definitely not Pakistani. Foreign forces are involved in this."
hahaha....what a piece of junk. stop crying and go read what most( actually almost all) of the Sri Lankans say about this brave driver. A true hero who saved the whole Sri Lankan team from dying. Jeez you guys are fussing about it billion times more than Sri Lankans. Frankly I m yet to face a Sri Lankan on forums and in real life who really b*tches about the incident like Indians. I agree security provided was pathetic and was a complete farce(thanks to incompetent govt. and PCB) for which PCB doesn't deserve any cricket at home for a long long time, but you guys need to get a grip and learn some humbleness and sanity from the great Sri Lankan nation.

Does that change the circumstances regarding his jihadi brother? NO Turn the cameras off, dig a nanometer beneath the surface and they'll tell you what the really think We don't live in denial about the security situation in India. As for humbleness, ho ho ho, what a laugh. You at piece with your cricket board blaming the survivors for exposing the truth ? :finger: BTW, what f * complexion is he on about? Pakys are pink and Indians are purple ? I agree with you Pac - man. What a load of grade - A - BS

That is because they live on an island far removed from Pakistan. We do not have that luxury...we live right next to you and you are...to put it mildly, feral, pesky neighbours. It's like living next to Freddie Kruger and family.

Come on guys. Not another thread to be converted into slagging the pakistanis---we have far too many threads doing that. Ravi started this thread very constructively and asked for your ideas about how to prevent terrorists from targetting cricket. If you have an idea, you can continue or else leave this thread!

Apologies...but when a neighbour turns up and asks for tea...you must serve him.

The bus driver sounds like he was in on it too...hence his survival...and his comments. I would really like to have a picture of the front window of the bus. My view...its an inside job, by the ISI...they want some more baksheesh from the US. And to prepare for the coming military coup This is creating the necessary perception and preparation of the foreground for their re-advent. Bloody prostitutes!

i think the security arrangement like what Chennai provided to England team for the Test series in india...is the benchmark ICC is going to discuss and set for other countries to follow...where risk assessment is HIGH. its not tough to provide extra security to the players and staff... i think police forces should be given the expense of the security arrangements...then IMO even police will gladly do their duty... i think an allowance of 1000 per police guard is not much for BCCI or state boards... so if there are 2000 police guards..then only 20 Lakh on security..in ODIs and 1 crore for tests.. not a big deal i think..
