By most reports Osama bin Laden is hiding in the wilderness that borders Pakistan and Afghanistan. But the US is making inroads there too, by building roads. The war on terror has revamped Pakistan, specially its much neglected FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) province.

To gain access into the hostile region, where most of Al Qaeda, including possibly Osama bin Laden, are hiding, Washington is funding construction of vast network of roads.
