Safe Behind Their Walls [Pakistan]

Bahria Town, is located just outside Islamabad...At 45,000 square acres it is...the largest private development in Asia, and despite Pakistan's well-publicized political and security problems, people are signing deals for six-figure houses, condos and apartments faster than they can be built...Given the nation's security issues, it's especially easy to understand why the rich here want to cloister themselves. [Sent by Bahria Town along with response to Dawn article]
