Wed, Mar 18 02:35 PM Lahore, Mar.18 (ANI): The Lahore police has been widely criticized for its incompetence to retaliate during the terror attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, has now claimed that it fired 423 bullets during the shootout, but none of them hit the attackers. According to a report submitted by the police officials, 17 policemen through 21 weapons fired 423 bullets at the assailants, but all escaped unhurt. "The attackers were firing from a safe place, due to which they could not be hit," the report stated. It also said that the security officials chased the terrorist after the incident, but they failed to arrest any of the terrorists. The report, amazingly, also has a meticulous detail of arms used and shots fired from them during the gun battle. 245 fires were made through six SMGs, 73 fires through four MP5 rifles, 52 fires through five Glock pistols and 25 fires through three Beretta pistols, The Daily Times reports.

Fontaine Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 To be fair, it's hard to aim and hit your target when you're hiding and playing dead at the same time.

cochise Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 According to a report submitted by the police officials, 17 policemen through 21 weapons fired 423 bullets at the assailants, but all escaped unhurt. However, 72 kites being flown by kids in the area were shot down during the gunfight. Collateral damage. "The attackers were firing from a safe place, due to which they could not be hit," the report stated. It's safe out on open ground...airspace violations are fraught with danger however... It also said that the security officials chased the terrorist after the incident, but they failed to arrest any of the terrorists. As the police officers were at least 50 kgs overweight and stopped for chai-biskoot during chase...
Mr. Wicket Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Maybe try training some of the phaaasht boilers in using artillery given their wonderful aim and accuracy? *Remembers T-20 bowlout* Oh, nevermind...
