[Extract: "When the Shias of Pakistan are angry, the Pakistani Army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) tremble. ... Because they have not forgotten what happened in 1988. Faced with a revolt by the Shias of the Northern Areas (Gilgit and Baltistan) of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) ..., for a separate Shia State called the Karakoram State, the Pakistan Army transported Osama bin Laden's tribal hordes into Gilgit and let them loose on the Shias." - b.raman]
