There are now reports of 11 'illegal immigrants' being killed by an unidentified armed group, while they were trying to cross from Pakistan to Iran. Wasn't specified, where on the border area this happened. Anyone have anything more on this?

Gwadar border is very far from the only working border of Taftan. omar |
Would be interesting to know, who are responsible, and the motive behind such killings.
And though most travellers get through Taftan/Mir Javeh just fine, it is good to remember, that it is not an area to go wander on your own. |
You're not making me feel better about Pakistan :P
There's a german guy called Daniel in Iran also on a motorcycle. I don't know if he's on the Hubb also. He's currently in Yazd. We have scheduled to meet eachother somewhere about 30th december in Bandar Abbas to cross Pakistan together. If anyone is interested in joining us please contact me. My iranian cellphone is 09305739762 Best regards Rocco |

We arrived in Quetta on saturday and stayed at Hotel Bloom Star. We could not apply for the NOC to get out of the city because it was evening already. On sunday the 'home department' that handles the NOC is closed so we had to apply on monday. Our application was denied due to the roads being to dangerous so we loaded the bikes on the train on tuesday out of Beluchistan to Jacobabad. In the train we heard that the train was shot 4 days earlier. Here is the news article Four killed in firing on Jaffar Express in Bolan - thenews.com.pk We thought that when we were out of Beluchistan we were free of escorts but we were escorted all the way to Lahore. At nights four to seven armed guards stayed in the hotel for our safety. Haven't felt unsafe for a moment and although is was tough we had a great time the last week riding through Pakistan. Oh and we threw all our video footage from Pakistan together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3iTfCe_b74 |
