Contrary to what Wolpert mentions on page 82, Akbar Bugti was not shot dead in his home. The cave where he had set up camp was shelled and that is what led to his death. It is, however, disputed whether the death was caused by a direct hit of the shelling or whether the cave collapsed while he was inside.

A more in-depth discussion on that front would have been great.
