Mainly, though, I’m glad the rocket missed, the grenade didn’t explode and that the bus driver showed such amazing courage.

A big amen to this. That bus driver is a hero.

I wondered what you thought about it, but I figured that, like me, it was hard to know what to say.

I’m disgusted that anyone thought this – or any terrorist act – was an acceptable way to advance their cause.

I’m glad that the international cricket community seems to be supporting the Pakistani team and their right to play the sport, even if it means playing “home” matches in Dubai and England.

I feel terrible on behalf of ordinary Pakistanis who played no part in this. And it’s awful to see sportspeople being targeted once again in this way.

this incident could not have come at a worse time for Pakistan, as they are already struggling with their international image
