Violence in Pakistan Takes Toll on Refugees


(12 June 09 - RV) Gunmen opened fire today at the home of the army commander heading the military offensive against Taliban militants in Pakistan's Swat Valley, sparking a gunbattle just hours after a suicide attack at a police checkpoint.

We spoke to the Senior Policy Advisor for Humanitarian Affairs at Oxfam, Michael Bailey, to who told us more about the gravity of the situation. RealAudioMP3
