voice-verified
He is an illiterate truck driver from a mudwalled town at the top of this pass.
voice-verified
Now, he owns the largest private residence most visitors have ever laid eyes on, in one of the poorest places on earth.
voice-verified
He's also got a tribal army, several thousand armed men who answer to him and to no government anywhere.
voice-verified
And a product line.
voice-verified
Hashish by the fighter load and heroin.
voice-verified

His name is Ayyub Fridi, who many call the Pablo Escobar of Pakistan.
voice-verified
Two months before this tour, he's elected to Pakistan's National Assembly, the Parliament, just like Escobar did in Colombia.

Though he was kicked out after a year or two and only elected as an alternate.
voice-verified
A leaked CIA commission study will crown a Fridi the king of Khyber heroin.
voice-verified
The DA will call his organization in an official cable the single most prolific heroin in Hashis trafficking operation in the entire country.
voice-verified
Which might not sound like much, but during this period, Pakistan is the number two heroin exporter in the world behind Burma.
voice-verified
And he built it all from nothing.
voice-verified
from poverty the average person couldn't fathom, in one of the most lawless places on earth.
voice-verified
But there's still more to come.
