Well the common people of Pakistan now have another option that has just been added to their choices for ways of dying:
They can either die from:
a) Target killing,
b) Extremists,
c) Corruption,
d) Nepotism,
e) Poverty,
f) Floods
g) West 'war on terror' or
h) Earthquake
Only one thing is certain, if you are a Pakistani living in Pakistan you have a very high percent chance of dying than if living anywhere else in the world.
