Not only these two, the heads of army were also responsible for this debacle. Were they sleeping while the terrorists were doing military weapons training in various parts of the country. They had imported containers loads of swords from China.The funny thing is the head of state elevated the army commander to the highest rank after the bomb blasts for a job well done.
I have a feeling all of them were conniving with the enemies of the country.

I believe the three forces are also represented in the NEC. So, they also would have heard what were being discussed. The country pays for the military intelligence units and they are responsible for gathering and passing information to the relevant quarters. In this case the info has come from other countries. All the more reason for the army to be involved.
After hundreds of people were killed by terrorist the army commander at the time comes and begs for votes unashamedly. The fellow must be carrying out a contract.
