<div id="ygrps-yiv-847167095">no apologies necessary<br/>
& maybe you can help me with my quest for the other end of that <br/>
line<br/>
the point where the baluchistans meet afghanistan<br/>
aka afirpk<br/>
<br/>
i have determined that it is a monumented point on a peak called<br/>
malik siah koh<br/>
or<br/>
koh i malik siah<br/>
or <br/>
kuh i malik siah<br/>
apparently all just different ways of saying the same thing<br/>
<br/>
to my eye & ear this name smacks of multiple sovereignty<br/>
seemingly something like king king king or chief chief chief or <br/>
head head head<br/>
if my linguistic guesswork serves me well<br/>
for i confess i dont even know which language it is in<br/>
not that i would understand any of them even if i did<br/>
<br/>
but perhaps you or others do understand well enough to confirm <br/>
or correct my rendering of the name<br/>
&or to browse more intelligently & successfully for the photo of it <br/>
that has eluded me til now<br/>
<br/>
i have come as close as zahedan iran <br/>
a city about 50km south of this malik siah<br/>
& at elevation 1643m the peak might be visible from there<br/>
but none of the pix i have seen show any mountains<br/>
while most of the descriptions in text escape my undertanding<br/>

&gt; Hello Guys,<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Here&#39;s some material I got from the net regarding the Gwadar <br/>
Bay. This area hosts the border between Pakistan and Iran, and <br/>
both border provinces share a common name: Balochistan. <br/>
There has been an undercurrent movement for some degree of <br/>
autonomy in Balochistan-Pakistan, which makes the Iranis <br/>
nervous.. somewhat similar to Greece&#39;s concerns over the FYR <br/>
Macedonia...<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Anyway, sorry for the chit-chat and here are the files- One is a <br/>
map excerpt from MS-Encarta and the other is a poor quality <br/>
Space Shuttle snap shot.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Please excuse me for the poor quality of material.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; BYe,<br/>
