#1 That sounds so funny...."nakabandis" and "foot-tracers"! I just imagine this article being read aloud with a stereotypical Pakistani/Indian accent! I can't get enough of these trippy Pakistani news articles! What strange vocabulary!

#2 Oh, and dare I forget the "retiring room!" or the "query". Using pushcarts is the same technique used in Iraq when they fired rockets from the pushcarts at the hotel where Paul Wolfowitz was staying at the time. They've used donkey carts and push carts several times from which to fire such rockets. I like how NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani has demanded "Perfect security at all costs!" I guess Pakistan is the only country in the world in which the beating of the conductor of a passenger bus outside a police post wouldn't draw any police scrutiny. They could have foiled the plot right then and there. I mean, can't you just imagine the Pakistani cops standing there outside their police station talking about nakabandis and meanwhile there is a serious beating taking place right in front of them and they do NOTHING! And I got a funny picture of old Yusuf working in the field and being startled at the sound of RUSSIAN MADE ROCKETS going off in the background.

#3 Umm, I think it was the police themselves who delievered a beating to the bus conductor.

#4 and who better to deliver a heinous beating for a seemingly minor infraction than the Pak boyz in uniform?
