Only three months ago, the Pakistani border town of Teri Mangal bustled with a busy bazaar and a steady flow of Afghan mujahedin rebels on their way to or from the fighting in Afghanistan. Today Teri Mangal is deserted. On March 23, Soviet-built Afghan MiGs roared across the frontier, demolishing many of the shops that sold arms to the guerrillas and leveling the simple clapboard flophouses where they bedded down for the night.

The attack seemed to mock the angry diplomatic note of protest issued just one day earlier by the Pakistani government. It demanded that the regime in Kabul "desist from these barbarous and wanton attacks on defenseless civilians...
