Asalam alaikum, everyone in Peshawar is blaming the US pvt military contractors for this blast.Everybody talks abt nearly 300 houses in Islamabad being rented but nobody talks abt nearly 60 houses in Peshawar being rented in PEshawar by these foreigners who roam in 4 wheel drives with tinted glasses until 3-4 am in the mornings, like they are patrolling the streets. Blackwater has arrived in Peshawar big time… and with a bang..
