Spanaway Lori:   "A map would be good here."

Oh, I might be able to dig a little something up for you!

8 MIRAMSHAH, March 2: Tension gripped the North Waziristan agency...”

Mirah Shah:   is located in the lower-central portion of the map below. For reference, note the Afghan cities of Kabul and Jalalabad, the Safed Koh mountains (home of the so-called Tora Bora cave complex) and the Paki city of Peshawar in the upper portions of the map. The entire Pakistani region shown along the Afghan border is known as the "Federally Administered Tribal Area" (FATA) and the specific agency you're looking at here is the North Waziristan. The whole area has been a hotbed of action with the Taliban and al-Qa'ida since day-one.

In my best Pakistani voice:

There are no Taliban in Pakistan....none they are all in Afghanistan.
