Welcome to bin Laden Land? Abbottabad plans theme park

2/5/2013

Pakistan wants to build an amusement park in Abbottabad, the town where Osama bin Laden was killed. But don’t expect any Al-Qaida attractions like "It's A Small-Minded World" or "The Tower of Terrorism." "This project has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden," insists Syed Aqil Shah, Abbottabad's provincial minister for tourism and sports. The still-unnamed $30 million development will include a zoo, artificial waterfalls and restaurants. Don't book that vacation yet, though: The development will take eight years to complete. [Source]
