Its not pakistani, its called Urdu and its the national language there.

The article is pure BS from a local newspaper and claims blackwater people hijacked the plane and wanted to attack the nearby Kahuta nuclear facility and stuff like that. The basis of all this is that why hasn't the voices of the cockpit been made public yet.

Nothing to be taken seriously. Actually, I even doubt this is from the newspaper. There is no journalists name and it quotes "sources that wouldn't like to be named". Even the font and style doesn't seem to match a scan from a paper thought I won't be surprised if it is.

Unfortunately, and as mentioned above, some local channels and newspapers thrive on such made-up news by sensationalizing things and twisting facts. If you want to follow local news, try Dawn newspaper (DAWN.COM | Home | Latest News, Pakistan, World, Business, Cricket and Multimedia). Its english language and is far more respectable than others.


Also its not PIA site but some private forum.
