How Pakistan Can Stop Drone Strikes
By Muhammad Idrees Ahmad
The picturesque valleys of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan are overlooked by
the immense snowcaps of Nanga Parbat. At more than 26,000 feet, it is
the world's ninth tallest mountain, but for alpinists it is a challenge
far greater than Everest. It's a rare mountaineer who is unaware of its
reputation as "the killer mountain." The notoriety derives from its
deadly avalanches and crevasses, but the death that was visited on a
group of climbers last month took a much different form. Eleven
mountaineers were killed when militants affiliated with the Pakistani
Taliban entered their basecamp and unleashed a deadly fusillade.
