Update to the recent arrests Adam posted....

Found this in a Chitral newspaper..

CHITRAL,26 June 04: An Arab person who gave his name as Abdur Rahman and his Pakistani companion belonging to Punjab,who were arrested a couple of days back from Bumboret for unauthrised entry into Pakistan and alleged malicious intentions have been flown out of Chitral on a special plane. Security agencies were however tight lipped about the occurrence.

Boot or jeffers is there a border crossing into Pakistan named.....Bumboret?

Yes.

See first map in post #127. There is a stream named Bumporet Gol located 12.5km southwest of Chitral. Presumably, it goes up into the mountains to the southwest that form the border with Afghanistan. Any pass there would likely take on the name of the most prominent local feature, the stream. The climb should be roughly the same as for Dorah Pass, to the northwest.

That was an interesting snippet you posted in #133. Especially the part about them being mysteriously flown out. Are you on to something, Dog?
