No it was'nt an ambulance stuck in jam, actually it was some senior official of Navy/kpt with a motorcade of around 9 vehicles 3 limos and 6 security escort vehicles carry gun touting NP(Navy police) personels , they were also stuck in the mayhem, then all of a sudden around 6 of the gun touting NP personnel jumped out of the jeep and on foot ran towards the starting of the intersection where the tarrafic police sergeant was helplessly trying to manage the traffic , he was supposedly asked to stop all traffic comming from other lanes so that the motorcade could pass.. even then we were stuck good 15 mins before our lane started to move and we managed to get out of the mess.... dunno what happened to other people stuck in other lanes i guess we were just lucky that some VVIP was also stuck on our tail which made our passage easy after awful 4 hours, MA jinnah road was also a mess . Honestly speaking saturdays are relatively calmer in terms of tarrafic but i guess it was coz of roads being block thanx to this Arms expo that we have to bear this mess.. today i was stuck in one of the worst traffic jams i have witnessed, was stuck on jinnah bridge(KPT) at around 12:15pm and until 4:15 pm and hardly managed to cover 2 km and guess what , luckily out of nowhere sirens started ringing..

We need more events like this, but we could actually do without more defeatism. Lets just prepare for the worst and hope for the best, instead of doing it backwards.

I would like to clarify a little about the idea of expos like IDEAS200X. Being a frequent of such expos, and also participating in a number of them, i would like to add, that this expo is promoted as an international expo. For example if Hu Jinto, or Tony Blair or some international business tycons will come here, they will not come here wit the sole purpose of buying weapon made in WAH (Actually, i will not be surprized if they did, some low-tech weaponary purchase from here might be attractive for those countries also). They will come, first as they are on an official visit to Pakistan anyway... second there are british and chinese companies there "SELLING" also. Its also a myth that all the buying and selling will involove Pakistan in it, no, international expos dont work like this. During the expo , dont be surprized ,if the chief of saudi army, takes interest in some systems displayed by turikish arms industry. Its an international business event, and Pakistan is host.We shall hope that this becomes a regional defense event, the way government wishes it to be. Karachities will get a lot from it. Hello All!

I think its very unlikely. @ Adnan: LMAO!
