Buner Displaced Trickle Home

As security started to return to villages, trickles of displaced people from Pakistan’s Buner district in the troubled northwest are heading to their deserted homes. Nearly 2 million people have fled fighting in northwest Pakistan, most since early May when the military began an offensive against the Taliban groups. About half of Buner's 700,000 were among those who fled the fighting. (Reuters photos)
