Hi delegates!

Just 2 more days to the conference!! Thank you for continually checking for updates on the blog. We’re happy to see that you’re reading and responding to the updates.

If you have any questions during the conference, please don’t hesitate to come up and ask us during breaks in committee or informal caucuses.  Don’t be shy to come up and introduce yourselves/talk to us!  Really!!  We’re all about making BMUN the best experience possible and being approachable.  :)

Here is your final news update.  This article is about a recent terrorist attack in Pakistan and the investigation into Al-Qaeda’s possible involvement. Think about how much mayhem would have resulted had the terrorist organization responsible used nuclear weapons…
