to go? Just considering Afghanistan alone, the list likely numbers in the thousands, that is, if you discard the 'grass routes'. Then if you broaden that to include Yugoslavia and others bastions of quislingtry -- well, you can do the calculation...)

The Afghan Minister for Public Works, Haji Abdul Qadir, has been shot dead in the capital Kabul.
Government officials said Mr Qadir, who was also one of the country's three vice-presidents, was shot in the head as he left his ministry.
He was attacked by unknown gunmen who approached him in a car.
Haji Qadir was one of the most powerful men in eastern Afghanistan, and one of the few Pashtun members of the interim government.
Correspondents say the killing of Mr Qadir will heighten concerns over the problems of establishing security in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taleban.
His death follows the killing of the Afghan aviation minister and an assassination attempt on the country's defence minister
Mr Qadir was the governor of Jalalabad when the Taleban arrived in the city in 1994.
It was thought he had brokered a deal to stay there, but fled when negotiations broke down.
Mr Qadir returned to Jalalabad after the demise of the Taleban to reclaim his governorship.
He was involved in the Afghan reconstruction talks in the German city of Bonn last year.
He stormed out of the talks saying the delegations there representing his country did not contain sufficient Pashtun representatives.
Mr Qadir was also involved in a controversial crackdown on opium production in the east of the country.
The policy had led to reports of corruption among officials, and clashes with farmers resulting in a several deaths and injuries.
Violent attacks
Last April there was an assassination attempt on the country's interim Defence Minister Mohammad Fahim.
Four civilians were killed and more than 50 others injured when a bomb exploded as Mr Fahim's convoy visited the eastern city of Jalalabad.
Last February, the Afghan Civil Aviation Minister, Abdul Rahman, was killed at Kabul airport in controversial circumstances in which other government ministers were implicated.
