'Planet War' @ Foreign Policy

Take a few minutes with this absolutely phenomenal photo-essay at Foreign Policy, "Planet War." This screencap shows a portion from the eighth slide, "Pakistan":

Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) are two of the world's most volatile war zones. Located along Pakistan's porous, 1,500-mile border with Afghanistan, the two regions have, since 2001, seen fierce battles between Islamist militants and the Pakistani Army. Al Qaeda's top leaders are thought to reside here, and U.S. drones patrol the skies in search of terrorist and Taliban leaders. Above, a Pakistani soldier stands guard while an Afghan-bound NATO oil tanker burns in Peshawar after being destroyed by militants on Feb. 1, 2010.

Unbelievably awesome pictorial. Check out the whole thing, here.
