Ouch! This article must have hurt.
Brutal, bully, maniacal, a fascist leader to describe AH. And, for MQM it says that its mandate is backed armed gangs that indulge in racketeering, extortion, abduction, target killings. You can't fnd harsher stuff than this in a newspaper article. The tide has definitely turned!
Wow! Declan Walsh didn't hold any punches. Compared to this article the BBC documentary and the article in Guardian seem pretty mellow.
One other interesting point from NYT story is that former british soldiers are hired as AH's bodyguards.
