High Security in Karachi

[Occasional Fan]

Well, I've never claimed to be Czech, Zainub - and in fact they probably wouldn't welcome the idea either! Former US Secretary of State Madeline Albright was Czech born, however. She speaks the language as well and at one point there was a small body of people here who wanted her to stand for President (of the Czech Republic, not the USA). I doubt she ever will, somehow. Neither will I, come to that.

I see. Back to my point, is there any way in which I can sue the police for potential invasion of privacy without be ripped off?

[Occasional Fan]

I doubt it somehow. You'll need a lawyer for a start.

[Zainub]

No one in my family is a lawyer so no chance of some one willing to do my case for me for free, and anything with a paid lawyer is always expensive. So I guess, the answer would be no. Sigh!

A big shame that this is having such an effect on the ability of fans to enjoy their cricket

I wasn't aware that there was any internal conflict in Pakistan. Are these extremists tagretting KFC etc, because they are protesting about the encroachment of western culture in Pakistan? Sorry to go on about it, I just like to understand a situation properly when I read about it.

What a bloody joke! Karachi is actually the most advanced, and modern city in Pakistan. I can recall Indian players were stunned by the warmth of the reception they got and in fact one of their contingent said the Karachi crowd was the best he'd ever played before. It was a happy go lucky place back then, I just hope all these security measures won't have dimmed or restricted the enthusiasm of the local public to watch live cricket.

Big shame,England had similar silly draconian measures during the ashes after the terrorist attack in London.Understandable but probably over the top.
