Pakistan.

I have a big interest in the world trouble spot of Pakistan. Why? This is because of my autism and my interest in Cricket. I am very interested as to why international cricket refuses to go to Pakistan. The reason the other nations refuse to go there is because of terrorism. So Pakistan have to play their home games in the United Arab Emirates where a lot of expat Pakistanis live. I have met a number cricketers and match officials who were caught in the terrorist attack the last time a big international cricket team visited Pakistan. Which was Sri Lanka in 2009. I met one of the Sri Lanka players who was injured in the attack, Thilan Samarweera.
I said to him "You got Injured in Pakistan."
And he replied "Yes I did".
I have spoken to Mark Richardson who was in the attack in 2002 when the Black Caps were in Pakistan and a bomb blast happened outside their hotel in Karachi.
I also spoke with Chris Board, the match referee, who was very angry with Pakistan Security. I have seen him on t.v. doing interviews. He was the match referee for the 2009 Pakistan v Sri Lanka series and was in a mini van carrying match officials which was attacked. He believes that the Sri Lanka and the match officials were set up to be killed by the Pakistan Taliban.  

I started getting an interest in this in November 2013, when my later father said that I should get more interests than "The bloody Kennedys." who my father thought were crocks.
