Terrorists wanted

The beard count is up in Khorog.

A French film production company is recruiting extras for a feature film with a terrorism story line. Posters are up all over the town. My translator Maqsad grew his beard especially and, I have to say, it works very well with sunglasses. The man I interviewed yesterday afternoon had also grown a beard for the purpose and had already secured a place in the film when I saw him. The film will be made later in the year in Ishkashim - some three hours drive south of here along the Afghan border.
