Pakistani civilians flee after clashes kill 195

This is getting out of hand. Jesus H Christ with a laptop, what is happening in Pakistan? Is the whole Mid-East exploding?

Hundreds of people fled a Pakistani tribal town on Tuesday after some of the heaviest-ever clashes near the Afghan border left 150 militants and 45 soldiers dead, officials and witnesses said.
