Looks like the Indians are shutting down rail service bwtn the countries. I think there is a lot of news not getting out of Pakistan at the moment and what there is coming out is only coming out b/c of the spill over effect.
Train services between India, Pakistan stopped following violence in Pakistan

NEW DELHI (AP) - India is halting its train service to Pakistan, citing “security considerations.”
Pakistan is mired in violence following the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.
There have been reports of mobs burning 10 railway stations and several trains. And a senior railroad official says rioters have uprooted a section of track leading to the Indian border. Bus services have also been canceled.
Trains are used by hundreds of thousands of poor families divided by the 1947 creation of Pakistan.
A quick check of some of the Pakistan press sites shows that they are still up and reporting. Martial law, of course, has not been declared and the independent press seems to be relatively unhindered. I would expect that the major stories are getting out. Behind the scenes action, of course, would by definition be behind the scenes and not easily detectable.
I don’t know about bloggers. I’ve not taken the time to cultivate a list of Pakistan blogs. I would expect that quite a few are reasonably active, although I would imagine that some would be discrete and measured in what they post.
Pakistan is not Myanmar. Anything major in scope, and normally visible at a local level is likely to get out without much delay.
If martial law (or some degree of extraordinary emergency measures) is declared and the press gagged, internet access cut and cell phones blocked, then we may be much more restricted. Pakistan is just too big, and too technologically sophisticated to go dark without extraordinary measures. At least that is my impression.
