 Pakistan Blocks Twitter
Pakistan bans Twitter following a controversy over caricatures of Prophet Mohammad.
The ministry of information technology said repeated calls made to Twitter authorities over the matter remained unanswered, Geo News reported.

In 2010, following a lahore High Court ruling, social networking site Facebook was blocked in the country for the same reason.

Twitter has grown in popularity in the last few years and it is estimated there are six million users in Pakistan.
