Miranshah looks like a ghost town.

As our helicopter hovered over North Waziristan's main town, not a single soul could be seen out in the bazaars or markets.

Local residents and shopkeepers had left in a hurry, it seems. In some parts of the bazaar most of the shops were half open, with saleable goods still on display as if the shopkeepers had just gone for prayers or a short break.

It looks like the Paki's are finally doing something about their internal problems.
