The VICE Guide to Travel | Gun Markets of Pakistan

In 2006, Suroosh Alvi was one of a handful of journalists who was able to get into the massive guns market in Pakistan's tribal areas -- home base for the Taliban since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. He returned to Pakistan this month and found the entire country was a "powder keg ready to explode."

Wish this vid was longer, great watch! Love Vice Guide, it's a shame they don't get recognized more while big name reporters stay in US sanctioned areas and get the awards for their courage (no offense to them).

LOL i pass this place when i go to my village. the last time i was in pakistan was in 2005, and we stopped here to eat kabobs (BEST kabobs btw). my dad would tell us that there is a huge gun market here. nowadays its way to dangerous around there and pretty much no one goes there. great documentary!
