Were nt Harry and Ahmed Raza Khan friends? I have white friends who have called me paki, they were friends and I knew their intention. We would call them names back. Nothing major. its all a part of growing up.
A number of people are trying to point-score because they are anti-monarchy in the UK.....some days later Prince Charles calling a brit-Indian friend "sooty" surfaced - politically correct white people were making a bigger fuss out of it than the ethnic minorities themselves.
The story has only surfaced because they want a distraction for the Israel war.
What CRAP newspapers write.....Abbottabad is a peaceful area and more closer to the fringes of "lawless" Punjab than the north-west frontier (before some one points out abbotabad is in the nwfp, it indeed is but its easier to access through the punjab district of attock for most of nwfp ....
Theres very little activity of "islamic" militants in Abbottabad and no soldiers have been slaughtered there. It is also in no way a hotbed of insurgency.
Can please someone write to Daily mail :P - they have just totally exaggerated some bits.
The background of the Prince and Captain Khan could hardly be more different. Captain Khan spent his early years in a single-storey family home in Slaig, a remote farming village of fewer than 100 people in the mountainous Lors Valley, two hours drive from Abbotabad, where he went to school. His family have a two-storey home in a dusty suburb of Abbotabad, a tough garrison town on the fringes of the lawless northwest area where Islamic militants hold sway and where hundreds of Pakistani soldiers have been slaughtered.
In the town, walls and roundabouts are sprayed with graffiti reading ‘Crush USA’, and the place is seen as a hotbed of insurgency and is ringed by police, army roadblocks and checkpoints. Having excelled as a student, Ahmed won a place at Sandhurst where he trained with Harry.
His father Muhammed Yagoob Khan Abbasi, a retired official with the Muslim Commercial Bank in Abbotabad, proudly watched as his son graduated with Harry in April 2006 and was presented by the Queen with the coveted Overseas Sword, the highest honour for an overseas cadet.
Yesterday it was reported that Captain Khan told the Prince to ‘forget about it’, adding that there were no hard feelings after the incident.
