Based on the info in the story, the location of Zhob was a bit of a surprise. In order to include familiar surrounding geophysical features, I had to use 4,000,000:1 scale. Notice Kabul near top center and Islamabad on the upper right. Between them in the dark area on the border, is the Safed Koh mountain range, home of the so-called Tora Bora cave complex.
