#1 Gilgit is actually part of Kashmir that was illegally annexed by Pakistan.
They do not consider it part of "azad kashmir" and it has been run by military governors since partition.

The late dictator Zia Ul Haq organized a pogrom on some of the Shia population. He had a SSG officer lead an arab tribal lashkar of afghan war veterans . They killed may shias.

That officer was Pervez Musharraf. The lashkar was led by Osama bin Laden.

Zia paid for this with his life. A shia air force officer destroyed his transport plane, killing Zia and the US ambassador.

wow john, I missed that one..I've read several accounts, all different?, one account in particular was that a fresh crate of mangoes that was loaded on the C-130 at Bahawalpur, just before take off, and that it had a little suprise in it?

Then there's this account. what's your take?

Who killed Zia-ul-Haq?
