Bombing and shelling of S. Waziristan continues
and some serious refugeeism. AP:
[
"About 200,000 people have fled South Waziristan since August, moving in
with relatives or renting homes in the Tank and Dera Ismail Khan areas in an
exodus that has continued in recent days, a local government official said."

That's on top of about 90,000 who had left the area before August, out of a
total population of only around 500,000.
