I want to say it's the same pattern, the same terrorists who attacked Mumbai

- Salman Taseer, Governor of central Punjab province

We were very, very lucky to get off that bus... It was just that panic when you're laying on the floor and hearing gun fire and can hear the windows around you cracking ... that you're praying one of them doesn't hit you.

- Paul Farbrace, Sri Lanka's assistant coach

I suppose it is tough for Pakistan cricket to come back from this despite no fault of their own. It is difficult to see teams turning there in the future

- Daniel Vettori, New Zealand Captain

As a former cricketer I can only say this is the worst incident to have happened to the game. We are all shocked and disturbed by this. It was a great gesture of friendship from Sri Lanka to have come to Pakistan for this series.

- Abdul Qadir, Pakistan's chief selector

Coming very, er, closely after what happened in Mumbai ... how on earth did this attack not crop up on the radar of the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] in Pakistan?
