And there ya have it.

Is 500 a major number for this sort of thing? Could it be that Pakistan is trying to take control of this part of its country?

Don't know, haven't seen the film yet. Run another recce flight over the area, and I'll let you know...

Seems I heard somewhere the noumber 75,000 batted around. Not sure if that's ALL Afghan refugees in Pakistan, or if that's just the Pushtuns in Baluchistan.
