#1  This incident has come after two days of an uneasy calm in the city.

There has been an uneasy calm in this city for over 8 years - what does it mean, Dr. Lector?

According to Robert Young Pelton's 1995 book, The World's Most Dangerous Places, Quetta's economic power, foremost, was forging passports and other documents, most likely followed by a drug and weapon trade. Quetta is a haven for ISI inspired muzzie religio-crackpotism, yet it stays off the map compared to Mardan, hundreds of miles to the east (also another hundred or so miles to the east of Islamabad). Yet blowing up hair salons, music stores, etc. is a fairly common occurrence in Mardan, compared to Quetta.

Bet a dollar the Ben Laden enclave is within 30 miles of Quetta.
