Pakistan fighting somewhere else

I don't know if this means anything, but I thought I'd point it out. There was some significant fighting in Pakistan, 41 killed, south and west of the tribal regions in the Iran abutting Balochistan.

There's an independence movement there, and likely some refugee flow out of Afghanistan, but I note this mainly because the Balochs have conducted terrorist acts in Iran. It's a nexus/fracture point between Iran, Pakistan, and the "opium west" of Afghanistan.
