#4 I suspect that the Pak army has been putting the squeeze on the dozen or so major passes into Afghanistan. This really hits them where it hurts in several ways.

First, it severely hampers the smuggling trade and the free flow of money and weapons across the border. Second, it prevents trouble-making on one side of the border and fleeing across to the other side. Third, it goes hand in hand with forcing the Taliban out of the tribal areas back into Afghanistan, and closing the door behind them.

In a manner of speaking, the Pak army is acting as a more-or-less passive anvil, pushing the bad guyz into Afghanistan where they will meet the hammer.
