Panic Grips Pakistani Cities, Fear Taliban Retaliation

Updated on 2001-10-08 02:07:15


PESHAWAR (PNS) Oct 8, 2001 - Panic hits Pakistani cities as people rush to stores to stock up on groceries and consumer items on hearing reports of American-British attack on Afghanistan.

Most people reported fear of Taliban retaliation due to Pakistan's strong stance on support and providing resources including airspace to America.

Other reasons for stocking up on items included fear of possible price hikes and curfews in Pakistan as a result of war next door.

Taliban had earlier vowed to attack Pakistan and moved troops and missile launchers close to Pakistan-Afghan border.

A few years ago I was driving through Tucson and saw a bunch of moth-balled A-10s. I'm quite surprised to hear that only 220 were made.
