Lanka shocked, angry

Pakistan regret; Imran slams lax security

AFP, Colombo, Lahore
Cricket-obsessed Sri Lanka reeled in shock and anger TUesday at the attack on its national team as it toured Pakistan in place of an Indian squad t hat had backed out because of security worries.
President Mahinda Rajapakse condemned the attack and sent Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama to Lahore to oversee the evacuation of the team - seven of whom were wounded when gunmen fired on the team's bus in Lahore.
"I condemn this cowardly terrorist attack," Rajapakse said in a message sent from Nepal, where he cut short an official visit.
The president stressed that the team had gone to Pakistan as "ambassadors of goodwill." He arranged a charter aircraft to bring back the team from Lahore later in the night.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani telephoned Sri Lanka's president Tuesday to express his profound regret over an attack on the country's cricket team, calling it a “conspiracy".
Gilani spoke to President Mahinda Rajapakse and "expressed his profound regrets over this unfortunate incident," said a statement from the Pakistani prime minister's office.
"The incident was a well planned conspiracy meant to create terror and isolate Pakistan’s cricket," the statement added.
Gilani expressed his gratitude to the Sri Lankan team for visiting Pakistan at a time when most other squads refused to come and
said the nation would always "hold Sri Lanka in high esteem for this friendly gesture."
"This incident happened despite the fact that Pakistan had provided maximum security to the Sri Lankan cricket team," he said.
"Our security agencies are in the process of investigating the incident and the Sri Lankan government would be kept posted of their findings," he said.
However, former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan blamed lax security for Tuesday's gun and grenade attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, saying officials must be held to account for the incident.
"First of all I apologise to the Sri Lankan team for they toured Pakistan despite huge pressure. I strongly condemn the security provided to the Sri Lankan team because it was ten times less than what is given to Interior ministry adviser Rehman Malik," Khan told AFP
"Sri Lankans were assured of top-level security but there was lax security and I think from the governor of Punjab to police officials, all must be made accountable -- how the gunmen openly shot at a high-profile team," added Khan, who is the head of his Tehrik-e-Insaaf (Movement for Justice) party.
Eight people were killed and seven Sri Lankan cricketers wounded in Lahore when gunmen armed with rockets, grenades and automatic weapons attacked a convoy taking the team to the Gaddafi stadium to play Pakistan.
