Past attacks

On 3rd September 2008 American special forces soldiers launched an attack on Angoor Adda in to Pakistan killing innocent men, women and children.

However the news was not reported in the main stream news outlets until the news became to old to broadcast, how ironic is it that when a free country is attacked it is not reported however if it was a western country the news is instance and keeps on rolling for many weeks as news.

It is what it is. This was the reality 2 years ago, almost daily attacks by us troops into Pakistan happened and their are to many to report. Just to show that it is still happening in the next post i will show the latest news.

Pakistan under attack by America?

This is the area of Pakistan that has seen the most recent attacks by both Pakistan Army and the united states of America. A couple of years ago it was impossible for any country to violate another countries airspace, however in recent years the US has seen it as a legitimate target to attack Pakistan.

It goes against all the Nome’s that have been played in the international arena of a sovereign country to defend it’s self. I will look at most of the attacks that have been done against Pakistan I recent months from news sources such as the BBC.

NEWS

I have covered my journey to Pakistan in detail i believe. I will next look at the latest news coming from Pakistan and highlight the daily news from Pakistan and Bradford from the past and present.

So keep a close eye on this new blog.

It was the local lads that were cheeky like shit, they had some mad cricket skills and all day they just played cricket or football. We had some good matches but we almost always lost in cricket but we always won in footy.

I remember once the local village close by had a footy match with us and we killed them something like 25-2 that was a good day. A few weeks had passed and the holidays was coming to an end.

We got most of our shopping done from Mirpur but we also went to Rawalpindi, next I will talk about how to shop in Pakistan, it is nothing like the experience in England or any were and the fun you have man it’s a good laugh.

FIRST DAYS

After coming back from Rawalpindi we came to Mirpur. The only thing me and my brother wanted to do was get to the shops and buy the cheap cigs. what we came across in Mirpur we can only describe in 1 word “ wicked”. believe me or not you have seen nothing unless you have seen natural land beauty.

Living all our lives in a city we never knew that Pakistan looked like this, we though it was going to stink, poverty every were and crap roads. I am telling you it was none of that, they was a water well close by, with country side and big house and the roads were clean.

We decided from that moment we were going to give Pakistan a chance. The next couple of days was involved travelling from cousins houses and meeting them. We did not know one of them but at the end we became close friends.

Mirpur

It time for me to tell you a little about the city were we live in Pakistan. It’s called Mirpur, sick place people to live and go on holiday. It’s on the border between Pakistan and India and one time (American pie line) their was a massive war in Mirpur between the 2 countries that almost destroyed the city.

However luckily the Pakistan Army stopped the advance of the Indian army only a couple of miles away. Man to this day when ever I go back I can still see the massive holes in the ground left by the artillery in some places out side of Mirpur.

Well that was the war and a couple of more followed but still that place is unstable and to this day people are still fighting over that land. The next part of the journey was long.
