| 2009-12-14 | |
Pakistani and foreign currency worth more than Rs500 million was looted from a private bank branch near I.I Chundrigar Road on Sunday.
However, police have recovered some of the looted foreign currency from the house of a police officer who is also under suspicion of involvement in the robbery. According to police sources, the license of the private security company has already been cancelled whose security guards are suspected of being involved in the bank robbery. Police have arrested two accused and further investigation is in progress. It is said that around 80,000 private security guards are hired by various institutions including banks in Pakistan without their proper registration with police. | |

| #3 What about BCCI? Wasn't that the biggest bank looting in Pakiwaki history? After all it financed the Pakistan bomb and caused the bank failures in the 80s. |

| #2 Suggests that the opium war has been more effective than I'd have thought, assuming that the malefactors are politicals and not just free-range assholes. |
