#2 Would this pipeline go through Bugti territory so it could be blown up regularly, like Pakistan's current gas pipeline?

#3 Yep. It has to pass thru Bugti and Mazari homelands.

The real reason Pakistan wants it is that it thinks it can use the pipeline to blackmail India.
Once Indian industry becomes dependent on the gas, the paks can threaten to turn it off during dispute over Kashmir.

#4 Ah, thanks john. I just fig'ged Pervy was hoping for a little (more) "special" treatment... To add the ability to blackmail (or worse) India certainly ups the ante and explains his (soon to be dashed) hopes, lol.
