Bangladesh
cancelled its cricket team's scheduled tour to Pakistan. For the right reasons
that is. Why it was even considered beats any rational human being’s thought
process. Most travelers rank Somalia,
Afghanistan, Iraq, Congo,
Sudan and Pakistan as the
most dangerous places to visit on earth. There is no tourism company in the
world that would say that these countries are safe. Security agencies fear that
attacks could be including at places frequented by expatriates and foreign
travelers. Why would Bangladesh risk it?
If anyone is unaware; this is what has been happening in Pakistan lately
(and always as a matter of fact).
