15.07.2010 Lahore: a report by Hamid Khan about the bloody suicide-attack on the shrine of Shaykh Al-Hudschwiri

Murder in Data Darbar

LAHORE (gm) – David Trimble once said that ‘The dark shadow we seem to see in the distance, is not really a mountain ahead, but the shadow of the mountain behind - a shadow from the past, thrown forward, into our future.
