India accuses Pak of being terror hub. Wotta surprise.
India accused Pakistan of becoming a terrorist hub and said Saturday that Islamabad was doing little to curb attacks by Islamic militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir. India Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani, citing intelligence reports, said al-Qaida members had relocated to western Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir after fleeing U.S. forces in Afghanistan. ``The epicenter of terrorism has shifted from Afghanistan to Pakistan,'' Advani said. That's not something that anybody just noticed. Seems like you can't throw a rock in Karachi without hitting someone on a wanted poster... Advani's comments came as a Pakistan-based guerrilla group vowed Saturday to step up attacks in India's Jammu-Kashmir state. ``We will continue jihad in Kashmir with full force,'' said Syed Salahuddin, head of the Hezb-ul Mujahedeen, the largest of more than a dozen militant outfits battling Indian troops for Kashmir's independence from mostly Hindu India. That's because the Indos and the Kashmir government said they were going to talk with the jihadis and try and indulge in a little sweet reasons. Sweet reason doesn't go over well in Kashmir.
