Nothing startling if you know about policing there, but a good illustration of how Pakistan works, plus comments from a suspected Taliban member.

From a Pakistani PhD student who grew up in the Swat Valley and did his university time in Karachi: It is quite common that in some neighborhoods family re-unions gone wrong or religious disputes cause dozens of dead and injured people. Ten dead people per night are considered BAU according to him.

He was realy surprised that an Austrian city of 300.000 can be run without obvious police presence and almost could not believe that this city has only 6 homicide victims per year.
