1. Abassi should feel lucky that this incident happened in
A ,   Belgium   (11.30.14)
Belgium and involved Israelis. In Amerika he would have been shot dead on the spot for carrying a suspicious looking "hoodie".
2. Suspect
(11.30.14)
The guard did the right thing. Smart parents teach their kids never to do something good that looks from the outside as something wrong. Bad time, bad place specially in this moments!!!
3. To Vanghog from FB
Bruria ,   Jerusalem   (11.30.14)
Don't you know nazis would have done the same to you because of your race and looks?
4. What a touching care of a cricket bat..
Ariel ,   Israel   (11.30.14)
If it was one. Really, people - get a life. Mohammed Atta lived in Hamburg for years and he was a student too. Kudos to the embassy guard. Nothing drastic had happened - a Pakistani family simply came back to their beloved motherland, what could be wrong with it?
5. Who says ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.30.14)
... a cricket bat can't be a lethal weapon? Baseball bats certainly have been, and a cricket bat is much heavier. Better safe than sorry.
6. To FB Adam Eshbee: Did Pakistan compensate for Daniel Pearl?

8. always trying
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (12.01.14)
hat off for the Israeli security guard. Terrorists are always trying to test security alertness. like in this case.Of course this Paki was guilty of a terrorist act, The dismissal was an attempt to deflect suspicion from the Pakistani embassy.
9. To No.5.
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (12.01.14)
Agreed (and, even cricket balls, as with the tragic death of an Australian cricketer last week). However, cars are - and have been - even more lethal so let's not take any chances with car drivers fitting the racial profile. So, drivers of a certain skin colour - beware - you are likely to be the focus of attention. Oh, I forgot - they already are.
10. muslums never apologize. muslum are never wrong.
