Sport has its own niche, significance and is undeterred by any sorts of activities across the world and thus has a huge fan following around the world.
No matter what happens across the world, be it the terrorist activities or any sorts of rebellion, sport tends to be unaffected by all these and continues its own way.
However, the terrorist attack intended at the Sri Lankan Cricket team at Lahore, on Tuesday, has left some serious questions that need to be answered by the world at the earliest.
A group of 12 masked men had fired several rounds of bullet at the bus, the Sri Lankan players were on board, leaving eight people killed, six of them security personnel and two civilians, and six of the Lankan players injured.
It was a sigh of relief that none of the players sustained serious injuries, nevertheless who is accountable for the lives of those innocent security personnel and civilians.
Anyway, terrorists do not have any right to account for the lives of people, let alone attacking sportsperson.
The incident has received widespread criticisms from all the quarters and rightly so, why should terrorists target sportsperson?
If they really want to press for their demands, they should look to solve the issue through dialogue and not bloodshed.
One thing is for sure that the incident has raised serious questions against the security situation in Pakistan.
No any cricket team will even think of touring Pakistan for at least a couple of years now on.
This has really marred Pakistan and its cricket.
It was the first time in 14 months, that test cricket was being played in Pakistan and the incident has strangled the bid of Pak cricket to return to normalcy.
Seriously, Pakistan cricket has nothing to blame for it and I am sure they will be facing the music for at least a couple of years.
This is really bad for cricket, more importantly sports.
With this incident and last years Mumbai incident still fresh in the memories and the reluctance of rebel LTTE to kneel down in front of the Lankan government and mutiny in Bangladesh already claiming over 70 lives, cricket in Sub-continent looks rather bleak.
Time will only tell as how far the Lahore incident will affect cricket in Pak, it can be said that sports should never be a target of terrorists.
