Sickening to the core, how can a minister open fire with a Kalashnikov in an illegal Jirga? this should have gone to the courts. And we dream of becoming an Asian tiger. Think about the poor person's family, what grief they must be going through. No wonder our best talent are happy to live in USA and Europe.
