    Very modern!

    Lost your husband. Marry again and get out of my house and life!

    "Marry again and leave" is one thing, but to shoot her dead?

    That, Sir, is way beyond any logic that I can recognize.

    I was being sardonic!

    The epsiode indicates that the Wild West has come to roost in Pakistan.

    Maybe the woman told the father to take a hike. She forgot that the bloke had a rifle handy and was the fastest gun this side of Suez!

    I do realize your intent, but the depravity of the misogyny woven into the present day Pakistani society is simply beyond any such comment.

    New report on this disgusting story:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/01/wo...olice-say.html

    The widow and mother-in-law of a Pakistani man killed by a C.I.A. contractor last year were killed Monday, apparently by the widow’s father, who may have feared that she would remarry and take the money she received as compensation with her, the police said. The families of the two men killed by the contractor, Raymond A. Davis, in January 2011 received hundreds of thousands of dollars of “blood money” in exchange for pardoning Mr. Davis, a common legal practice in Pakistan. Mr. Davis said he shot the two men because they tried to rob him. The United States denied paying compensation to the families, but many believe it was simply routed through Pakistani officials. Zohra Haider, the widow of one of the men, wanted to remarry and was supported by her mother, said a police officer, Athar Waheed. But her father, Shahzad Butt, apparently killed the two women because he was outraged that his daughter planned to remarry and take her money to a new household, Mr. Waheed said. He is still at large, the police said.

    Shocking to say the least.

    Money is more important than life!

    Default Some observations on the Lyari action

    There is some pleasure in reading such phrases as this:
    11 rockets were fired by miscreants at the police
    Link:http://docs.brecorder.com/top-news/1...in-lyari-.html

    One does wonder at some of the footage, taken on the police side of the "line", with plain-clothes police, some with head coverings, joining in the firing.
