Warnings Or Dangers: Sometimes they strike...

  • During my first trip, in 2002, the scenario in Kabul was fairly unsettled. With all the warlords and various quasi- military outfits still weilding their influence over affairs, Kabul wasnt quite the safest city you could be visiting. That being said, our days in the city were largely trouble free except one particular evening when a car bomb exploded in the middle of a crowded market. Over 30 people died then and there, and it left more than 100 injured...

    The security scenario was much better the next time around though- one year later.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Policing the streets

  • The ISAF (International security assistance force) is the body responsible for policing the area in and around Kabul and also assist in its reconstruction. They also operate Kabul airport and have operations in the norther and western part of Afghanistan. Its an international contingent of peacekeepers dawn from various NATO countries- of those i remember seeing Greece and Germany to Turkey. The turks were the contingent that were leading the operations when i was there, but i think its a 6 month affair, and its a rotating thing...

    The Americans patrol the streets as well, but for specific tasks i think and not in a policing role

     ate many times at the Thai Restuarant 2004. Was a wonderful surprise. I am trying to find an old friend. Can you help me. His name is Marshall Perry. It was told to me he purchased one of the fine older Russian homes there in Kabul. Please reply.

     The reasons they're all Toyotas (taxis): Pakistan has Toyota factories giving cheap access to spare parts. Most cars stolen in Pak end up in Af. Toyotas have a reputation for being tough as nails.

     From the 'graveyard of tanks', to the broken down palace at Istalif, to the naughty Afghan kids... just fascinating pages. So nice to come across something as intriguing and vital as this on VT. So long Husain... Siddharth. P.S. - could we swap jobs? :-)
