Now this is a military industrial complex

A new book entitled "Military Inc. Inside Pakistan's Military Economy" is set to be published in Pakistan. The volume details the tangled web of business interests controlled by the country's military and which are valued in the neighbourhood of 10 billion USD.

The launch party however doesn't seem likely to happen after the government warned hotels, clubs and restaurants in Islamabad that hosting the party would not be advisable.
