How the truck made it to Lahore all the way from North? How many check points it was able to pass safely? This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of policing.

All the forces need our support and prayers. These men are putting their lives on the line so the rest of us can be safe. A fund should be created to monetarily provide for families of the fallen and wounded heroes.

That's the thing with humans' inability to fully comprehend the seriousness of non-events. Had this truck exploded, many would have criticized. The media would have had a field day. However, thank God it didn't and I only see 3 comments and a passing mention in the news.
And this inability really does frustrate the officers in uniforms because for all their effort, one slip up ruins everything.

This does not prove anything one way or the other. If they did foil it, they did their job. They still have blood on their hands.
