Any time my parents wanted to take the short walk from the hostel to the hospital they first had to be cleared via walkie-talkie, which took at least half an hour.

The security seemed astonishing, but over the last three years the Taliban had managed to infiltrate and attack even the most highly guarded military installations – the naval base at Mehran, the air force base in Kamra and the army headquarters just down the road.
这里的安全措施似乎无懈可击，但是在过去三年里，塔利班曾成功渗入并攻击受到最高层级保卫的军事机构：迈赫兰海军基地、卡马拉空军基地，还有同在这条路上的陆军总部。

There were no computers or Internet in the hostel but a friendly cook, Yaseem Mama, used to bring my family the newspapers and whatever they needed.

They were so touched by his kindness that they shared our story with him.

One mealtime Khushal said that the dining table felt empty with only the four of them.
