It's winter on one of the most famous smuggling roads on earth.
voice-verified
And a reporter is standing at a gate.
voice-verified
Behind him is the pass.
voice-verified
Mud houses, rock, the road that runs from Peshawar up through the mountains and drops into Afghanistan.
voice-verified
The road Alexander the Great is said to have used.
voice-verified
The road the British bled on, the road that has moved silk and guns.
voice-verified
and armies throughout history, and in this current era, drugs, heroin, hashish, massive amounts, likely more heroin than any other road on the planet.
voice-verified

voice-verified
This is what you call a compound, one that would put your average narco to shame.
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
So they go see the zoo.
voice-verified
A rose-lined walkway, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, an apple orchard, marble buildings.
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
On the porch is a mortar launcher and four artillery cannons, the kind used in the tribal blood feuds that have kicked off here for centuries.
voice-verified
With no real government or police, matters are settled the old way.
voice-verified
And under nearby tarps, two brand new Mercedes sedans, never driven, gifts for a political ally.
voice-verified
The guards line, word for word, the mileage is zero.
