#1 Pakistan, a key U.S. ally...

It's good that's mentioned. If it wasn't, I might not have known...

#2 To summarize: being in a feisty mood, the four Pakistani soldiers fired some of the rockets they had lying about at the Afghan border picket across the way. Unfortunately, there was an American soldier standing keeping the Afghani troops company, and he took umbrage (Silly American! There really is no reason to so overreact to such boyish exuberance). As everybody knows from watching American films, when American soldiers take umbrage, people and things end up broken.

#3 Yep, when they take umbrage they tend to call down the clans.

#4 So was the dead Pakistani soldier a worker bee or supervising?

#5 And, many rumors of Paki troops "adjusting" the border to suit themselves. A click here, a couple there...
