#1 I would bet most of those crossing (back)? into Pakistan are Pakistani. What a novel idea, Pakistanis returning home, now if the rest would do that, 'domestic' terror in the grown-up world would lessen to a great degree.

#2 With pressure from the east by the Pak army and pressure from the west by our troops and pressure from the sky by those drones, these are mighty exciting times for the Taliban.

#3 ION WORLD MIL FORUM > IIUC PAKISTAN'S ARMY AND TALIBAN CONTINUE DECISIVE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF KARAKORAM HIGHWAY. PAKIS ARMY KILLED ONLY 800 TALIB FIGHTERS IN PAST EIGHT YEARS, BUT OVER 1200 TALIB FIGHTERS IN LAST FIFTEEN DAYS. PAKIS HAS CAPTURED FIGHTERS FROM UZBEKISTAN, ARAB MUSLIM COUNTRIES, AND "EAST TURKISTAN".

The TALIBS are fighting hard to control or maintain access to its STRATEGIC CORRIDOR [Men, $$$, Arms, Drugs Trade, etc] TO AND FROM CENTRAL ASIA AND MIDDLE EAST???
