#6 The 2 Swiss are from Bern

It is approximately 15:00, (Swiss midday hour) Friday when David Och, 31 years, and Daniela Widmer, 28 years, roll in their Volkswagen motor home in direction of Quetta, the capital of the province of Balouchistan, in the West of the country. The two tourists arrived in the area Friday morning, after having remained in the province close to Penjab. Their vehicle carries a number plate of the canton of Bern. The couple seemed to project to return to Switzerland by the road while passing by Iran. A few days earlier, they had remained in India then passed the Pakistani border with Wagah on June 28.

#8 there are recent reports of American arming of Baloch nationalists on both sides of the Iranian border.

How credible are the reports, Kentucky Beef? Could this be Iranian or Pakistani explaining why the natives are getting restless yet again?

#9 If we aren't, we should be. Create internal issues for the terror-exporting IRGC and Mullahs. I'd like to see some IED's on Mullah convoys as payback for the American dead in Iraq and Afghanistan. Start to "unstable" them at home and their exports will shrink

#10 The Swiss were probably dhimmis. I wouldn't commit resources to aid the stupid.
