Terrorism museum

Published March 24, 2017

IN London, events of the past wars, battles, glory, crime, sufferings, tortures, etc., are on display in appropriate form as tourist attractions. I was shocked when Osama Bin Laden’s house in Abbottabad was demolished which could have been a great tourist attraction some day with dummies of occupants and original equipment.

I appeal to the Pakistan Army to preserve sights, weapons and equipment depicting history of terrorism and sacrifices of our soldiers which will be a great attraction for tourists both local and foreign. No wonder if some former combatants prove to be popular guides.
