Birmal-Wana Road
From WikiAlpha
The Birmal-Wana Road in Waziristan is an important route in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Agencies.[1] In 2007 plans to pave the road were announced, together with plans to construct a military airport at Wana, the capital of Waziristan.
Former Guantanamo captive Abdul Salaam called the road the "Wana Trail".

He said the army was funding the construction of a road around Wana bazaar, adding that it would also carpet the Wana-Birmal road."
