So Close To Death

Published on 05 November 2009

Munir Sheikh and Atif Sheikh know they are lucky to be alive. Despite suffering serious injuries the pair survived a suicide bombing attack in Pakistan. They know they were lucky because many of their colleagues were not. The two men were just metres away from the bomber when he blew himself up and they are now recovering from their injuries in a Dubai hospital. Munir and Atif told 7DAYS how they were hurled to the ground and saw the room burst into flames at the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) offices in Islamabad.
