...buildings left standing, the police station, where he says we can spend the night. The small group of officers describes how they alone have been tending the wounded, clearing the landslides and extracting the dead. The land we are standing on, they explain to the accompaniment of frequent shaking aftershocks, was the epicenter. Muzzafarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir where at least11,000 people are feared dead, is just a mile away over the mountains as the crow flies...
