More Indians evacuating the border
At least 60,000 Indians have fled their homes in the last five days amid heavy shelling and a massive buildup of troops on both sides of the Pakistan-India border in Kashmir. Kashmir Housing Minister Ghulam M Shah said the state administration was battling to provide food and shelter to the thousands who had evacuated their villages near India's shared border with Pakistan.
I think this diversionary tactic has gotten well out of hand and produced more danger to Pakland than the Learned Elders of Islam intended. Like the Palestinian flare-up, it was only supposed to divert attention and resources from Afghanistan.
