Painted Veil

Khalid Khawaja-Some call him a double agent , others a human rights activist. He was shot reportedly by a group Asian Tigers in Waziristan. His family plans to sue television anchor Hamid Mir because they think his conversation with an Usman Punjabi had his captives get confessions out of him and subsequently kill him.





Madhuri Gupta-the junior Indian diplomat posted in Islamabad She is now behind bars in India after she was found to have spied for Pakistan. She always used to travel to New Delhi from Islamabad on her private car using the Islamabad Lahore motorway.




Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving gunman of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks now sentenced to death by Special Court in India. He carried out everything totally James Bond style. He is allegedly from Pakistan.

Faisal Shahzad- a Kashmiri and Pashtun Pakistani under detention in US for being the Prime Suspect in the Times Square bomb plot in New York on May 1. Because of being trained in Waziristan reportedly, miliatry offensive in North Waziristan is likely according to many.

Just one more! Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist held in US for assaulting US soldiers in Afghanistan. All of these people are the real news makers of today. They have the power of defining not only diplomacy between countries but also fate of a nation like ours.

But who empowers them to such an extent that they become capable of doing what they have done? What motivates them to risk everything they have in life to pursue a seemingly treacherous path? Have they reached their destinations? Do they see something that we donot understand? Are they forced into all of this or they just love the thrill? Are they the real Osama Bin Laden? Will we ever get to find out about them beyond their trials? Does media know the truth about them?

Keep Watching!
