Balochistan Cruel beyond belief

No honeymoon for Nawaz Sharif from Pakistan’s terrorists

Less lethal but almost as shocking to many Pakistanis was the attack by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in the early hours of June 15th on a century-old building in Ziarat, a hill station a couple of hours’ drive from Quetta. Attackers made short work of the wood-and-brick building, also killing a policeman. Few Pakistanis have visited it, but its handsome wooden verandas are a familiar sight from the country’s 100-rupee note. It is part of Pakistan’s rickety national mythology, which sits heavily on the narrow shoulders of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the country’s founder. In the summer of 1948 he retreated to the cool air and juniper forests of Ziarat to ease the symptoms of the tuberculosis that killed him months later. http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21579886-no-honeymoon-nawaz-sharif-pakistans-terrorists-cruel-beyond-belief?fsrc=scn/tw_ec/cruel_beyond_belief
