Pakistan On The Brink - The Lawless Frontier - A Pakistani Army soldier stands guard at a base in Miran Shah February 17, 2007 in the remote tribal area of North Waziristan, Pakistan. NATO and the Afghan government say that Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters cross into Afghanistan from the Pakistani side to stage attacks on coalition troops. The Pakistani government, which has some 80,000 forces near the border, says they have paid a heavy price themselves, with almost 1,000 Pakistnai soldiers killed in combat against Taliban militants since 2002.
