The murder of renowned sufi sensation, Amjad Sabri, has settled over the nation an air of remorse and grief. Classified as targeted killing, this assassination is a gruesome reminder of how fragile the system of protection is in Pakistan. The abduction alone of Awais Ali Shah, son of the Chief Justice, had left the country shaken. For one shocking occurrence to be followed by another — undoubtedly — has scared the people.

There are questions that need to be answered, however. Is the murder related to the abduction in any way? Are the same people responsible for Amjad Sabri's unjust demise? Are these "masked men" part of organized crime or are they just a ragtag group of assailants?

If not, then who do they work for?

It angers people of unrestricted thought how such terrorists are always capable of getting away scot-free. Of how expertly they evade the reach of the authorities and then formulate their next move.

There is too much of political greed among the responsible for there to be any immediate effect on the inept condition of security of the country. Their minds are devoted to their search of power and more, and not on what requires their absolute attention. This always results in crimes such as the murder and whatnot.

This is a dangerous city; not one of us is safe.

Who's next on the kill-list?
