THIRTEEN people have been killed and more than 500 injured during an annual kite-flying festival in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.
Seven people with severe head injuries died in the city's General Hospital alone, and about 220 people were admitted with a variety of injuries including broken bones, hospital officials said.

In Afghanistan, for example, where kite-flying was banned under the Taliban, guys put ground-up glass on kite strings so they can cut competitors' flags out of the sky.
There are some other things associated with kite-flying in that region that is violent, though hell if I can remember any of them.
