A citizen is questioned during registration for the government identity card at the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office in Islamabad November 14, 2012. Elderly men wait patiently, carefully combing their hennaed beards, while a guitar-playing student entertains the long queue of Pakistanis lined-up to be photographed, fingerprinted and questioned inside a crowded office in the capital Islamabad. This is the unlikely setting for possibly one of Pakistan's few success stories - a massive increase in citizens signing up for government identity card. Picture taken on November 14, 2012.

This combo image released by London's Metropolitan Police Saturday Nov. 10, 2012 shows British schoolboy Miles Alura, 16, left, and Alura wearing a sophisticated prosthetic disguise, right, to commit violent armed robberies. British police say a 16-year-old boy who used prosthetics and dreadlocks to conduct armed robberies in disguise has been jailed for five years. Police say Miles Alura pretended to be an elderly man with facial prosthetics, make-up and a hair piece to steal 50,000 pounds ($79,500) of jewelry from a shop in Kent, England in July. They say he produced two handguns and tied up employees before fleeing. (AP Photo/London Metropolitan Police, HO)
