It is surprising how paranoid or maybe anti-Pakistan the US media, especially the NYT, has become. Not that other media displays much professionalism or understanding of the issues when it comes to reporting incidents. The electronic media is even worse. Let me explain a few facts here:
A bus with green (government) license plates was recently attacked and six employees of a nuclear facility killed. The bus was attacked at least 30-35 kilometres away from Kahuta on a busy main road in Rawalpindi. Although it turned out to be carrying KRL (Khan Research Laboratories) employees there were no markings on the bus to suggest as to which organization it belonged to. The standard recognition for buses or other vans or cars used for transportation of Government Employees/Semi Govt organization employees in Pakistan is the GREEN number plates these carry as opposed to the white/black number plates for private vehicles.
