Islamabad

A few days later, I was on a plane to Islamabad to contribute to aftermath coverage for a short stint.

The police state system that propped up dictators from Algiers to Islamabad for decades was unsustainable.

On March 1, the Islamabad government cut a deal with the Taliban.

Skardu is a 20- to 24-hour drive from Islamabad via the Karakoram Highway.

Ever since then Karzai has been pushing Islamabad hard in order to gain access to him.

He focuses much of his attention on a third war, often simmering under the surface, between Washington and Islamabad.

Islamabad is the starting-point for both the Lidar valley and Martand, and here the house-boat may be left.

On the left bank one and a half miles from Islamabad is the famous spring of Bawan—a great tank under cool chenar trees.

Islamabad was "as filthy a place as can well be imagined, and swarming with beggars."

Adjoining the tanks is a small pleasure garden, with some buildings which are inhabited by the Maharajah when he visits Islamabad.

At Islamabad it is a very small stream, but it gradually enlarges, by additions from both sides, as it descends.
