Cheney tours Pakistan quake zone

Cold, cloudy weather and weary survivors of the October 8 quake today greeted US Vice President Dick Cheney on his visit to Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where millions of homeless survivors braced themselves for the harsh winter.

Cheney flew in to Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, near the quake’s epicentre, after meeting with President General Pervez Musharraf in Islamabad earlier today.
