Security sources said Afghanistan-based gunnies attacked on a Pak security checkpost in
Kurram Agency...home of an intricately interconnected web of poverty, ignorance, and religious fanaticism, where the laws of cause and effect are assumed to be suspended, conveniently located adjacent to Tora Bora...

Kurram is one of the most sensitive tribal areas as it borders three Afghan provinces and at one point was one of the key routes for myrmidon movement across the border.
