Its not that bad either. And Pervez Musharraf is seeking yet another term as president while others like Sharif and Benazir are trying to get their lost post of PM.
But where are rightists like Maulana Fazal ur Rehman and Qazi saahib? I hope this time they will do better. Thanks to Lal Masjid episode.

Pakistan bridge collapse kills four

KARACHI, Pakistan, Sept 1 (UPI) -- A bridge collapse in Karachi,
Pakistan, killed at least four people Saturday and left several
others wounded.
Witnesses said between 20 and 25 people were still trapped under
debris from the Northern Bypass bridge, Pakistan's GEO TV News
reported. The witnesses said more than 10 of the trapped may be
critically injured.
A portion of the bridge collapsed around noon Saturday, trapping
vehicles -- reportedly including a bus with several passengers -- under
the debris.
Ambulance crews, relief teams and two cranes were digging through
the wreckage in search of survivors.
Three people were taken to Civil Hospital Karachi and two others were
taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Pakistan bridge collapse
Six die in Pakistan bridge collapse
An investigation into the collapse
has been ordered [AFP]
A recently constructed road bridge has collapsed in the southern Pakistan
city of Karachi, killing at least six people and injuring others.
Rescuers were trying to clear the wreckage to retrieve those trapped and
injured amid fears the death toll from Saturday's accident could rise.
At least two cars and a police van were crushed under the debris, and a
truck with a trailer and a minibus lay upturned by the fallen bridge.
The bridge was opened only two months ago by Pervez Musharraf, the
Pakistani president.
Mustafa Kamal, the mayor of Karachi, said the authorities were using heavy
machinery and bulldozers to remove debris and pull out injured people
trapped in at least two or three vehicles.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear.
Probe ordered
Witnesses said a portion of the bridge known as Northern Bypass fell with
a huge bang while traffic was on it.
Mohammed Iqbal, a survivor who escaped through the window of a small
bus that fell from the bridge, told the Pakistani Geo news channel he had
heard cries for help from those trapped in the rubble.
Zahid Khan, a witness, said "It created such a huge sound that we thought
it was an earthquake."
Shaukat Aziz, the Pakistani prime minister, expressed sorrow over the loss
of life and concern over the quality of construction of the bridge.
"Investigations have been ordered to find the reasons of the collapse and
people responsible for substandard construction would be taken to task," Aziz said.
Later reports said bystanders and relatives of those trapped under the
rubble, angered at what they believed were slow rescue efforts, threw
stones at the security forces deployed at the scene, injuring two.
In response, the security forces baton-charged the crowd.

Pakistan 'prostitutes' beheaded
Suspected Islamic militants in north-western Pakistan have beheaded two women they accused of being prostitutes, police say.
The bodies of the two women were found by villagers on the outskirts of the city of Bannu.
A note found on the bodies accused the women of "acts of obscenity", a term that usually refers to prostitution.
The region is a known base for militants who want to impose their interpretation of Islamic law.
Police said the women were travelling in a three-wheeled vehicle when masked and armed men overpowered them and bundled them into a car.

from what i've been told, the tribal areas are pretty much ungovernable.
the talibaan pretty much has free reign there and their power is growing. also, it is not limited to the FATA.
(don't know if this was talibaan or not, but it will do for a guess).

The police should arrest immediately this militants and throw them in jail until they will be judge. No one has the right to make his justice except in court.
Why anyone didn't try to save them :?
Also the men hypocrisy its ...cenzured...After they take the pleasure from prostitutes job , they are killing them. And what a dirty job.:uuh:
Note: because it was not proven the 2 women are guilty of prostitution, i don't consider them guilty either. :embarrass

I can't understand this country. Lets say i have 2 relatives with a big house and by chance i like their house. I kill them both, throw them in the street and i write a note: 2 prostitutes. I take the house and the police is doing nothing because i am the big militant...for my welfare.

oh: another one oh: when they shout to stop the business did they give another source for their income :? ( because its natural a family can't live only with air )The shopkeepers forced the people to buy cd's :? Did they run on the streets shouting :" you will buy it or i kill you" :? If they didn't do that i really think they are not guilty for selling them.
Why this so called militant are not working to educate the people :? instead to ruin lifes. Its much easy to put a bomb instead to go and teach the people music its "haram".
I hope they will pay the damages, right :? the building need to be fixed after a bomb, not to mention the price of cd's
This type of event reminds me of a black movement from the world war 2 when certain shops in the night were destroyed - but only the content of the shop, the building was not damaged.

there is no shortage of people who want to destroy pakistan.
no, there was no history of beheadings before recently that i know of. it has only been recent that the talibaan have gone in for beheadings. until lately, it was a totally foreign practice, as far as i know.
as for music store closings and such - yes, there is history of such things - this is not new. do you support bombing music stores?
do you think a provision will be made to feed the music store owners' families?
let me ask you - what can pakistan do to bring about a better future for its people? hopefully there will be elections soon - who would you support? neither bhutto or sharif look good to me.
pakistan is in a terrible position with enemies within and without. i really don't know what it can do.
