As a start, on May 27th, we learned that the State Department will build a new "embassy" in Islamabad, Pakistan, which at $736 million will be the second priciest ever constructed, only $4 million less, if cost overruns don't occur, than the Vatican-City-sized one the Bush administration put up in Baghdad. The State Department was also reportedly planning to buy the five-star Pearl Continental Hotel (complete with pool) in Peshawar, near the border with Afghanistan, to use as a consulate and living quarters for its staff there. 2009-07-04T19:14+02:00 2009-07-04T19:14:00+00:00 Leeds Bradford Terror War UK World Chalmers Johnson en Text text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/07/433749.html reception party held at ch altaf hussains <br/>residance in bradford on the 03 july 2009 for ch matloob inqlabi and raja shaukat sahib from azad kashmir 2009-07-03T16:31+02:00 2009-07-03T16:31:00+00:00 Leeds Bradford nazbradford en Text text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/07/433740.html On Thursday 2nd July activists from Fight Racism!
