#1 Well the map sez that's Baloch territory... Other than the fact that they're Sunnis, does that mean anything to / ring any bells with you PakiWaki experts?

#2 Not an expert, but I do know that the Balochs are a) heavily armed, b) fiercely independent and c) dislike the attempt by Iran to build a gas pipeline across Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.

#3 Sorry, forgot to add that the proposed pipeline would run through Baluchistan, but not serve their people.

#5 I wonder if lotp = leader of the pack? If so, not only a moderator with no colour, but different names so we know when he's being official, and when he speaks just as himself. Clever!
