Podcast: Pakistani journalist Huma Imtiaz talks to us about the recent terrorist attacks

October 27th, 2009Esra'a (Bahrain)

Pakistan has been making the news lately. Unfortunately, it’s nothing positive. Here’s a sample of the latest headlines: 15 injured in explosion in Pakistan, Blasts strike across Pakistan, Blast kills 17 on bus in Pakistan, Explosion Kills Six in Peshawar, Pakistan, Bomb Blast Hits UN Agency in Islamabad. It’s hard to be shocked by any of these events, but it’s certainly worrying.

Every once in a while I contact my friend Huma Imtiaz, a Pakistani journalist, for updates. You may remember her from this previous podcast. This time she’s here to let us know why these attacks are taking place, by whom, where, and what the government is doing about it (nothing, apparently.)
