| 2006-01-29 |
| A Levies force seized 12 camels laden with heavy arms and ammunition on Saturday after an exchange of fire with arms smugglers. On a tip-off about the smuggling of arms and ammunition from Afghanistan into PakistanÂ’s tribal areas, the Levy force of Kurram Agency raided the smugglersÂ’ den at 4am on which the smugglers started firing at the security personnel. The gunfight continued for some before and the smugglers fled, leaving behind 12 camels laden with kalashanikovs, light machine guns, bags of gunpowder and a large quantity of ammunition. |

| #5 Think of elephants in the role of heavy earthmover and large truck, they are somewhat near as capable as a catapillar tractor, and can carry about as much as a medium large pickup truck across rough terrain. |

| #3 "Ships of the Desert" been carrying goods for centuries. As an aside, in Vietnam they used Elephants, when the helicopters shot at them, there were some spectacular secondary explosions. |
