Frustrated by a flood of Afghan refugees into the country, Pakistan’s frontier government today threatened to evict 100,000, some of whom have been living in exile for 20 years.

According to a government official in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province - where an estimated 1.2 million Afghans are living in camps - 100,000 refugees have been ordered out of the camp where they live by July 15.
