Toba Kakar

The Toba Kakar (Pashto توبه کاکړۍ; Urdu: توبہ کاکڑ) or Toba Kakari are a southern offshoot of the Sulaiman Mountains in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, extending into the Kandahar and Zabul provinces of Afghanistan. The historical route through the mountains is known as the Bolan Pass. The mountains originally received media attention in August 1979; when evidence emerged that Pakistan may be using them as a potential workspace towards development of nuclear weapons. A western offshoot of the range in Killa Abdullah District is called the Toba Achakzai (also known as Khwaja Amran).
