The Indian government served a verbal demarche to Pakistan on Friday demanding the arrest of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba and Jaish-e-Mohammad leaders and freezing of their assets. "We will take action against anybody from Pakistan involved in these acts, if at all proved," President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said. "Having said this, whatever our analysis is that the proof is inadequate at the moment. In fact, there are lot of indications which may implicate a design behind this operation. So we would like to be very sure. We need concrete evidence that if it is a terrorist act and if at all any one has been involved, we would like to move against them." Musharraf also warned India against any "precipitous action".
Musharraf doesn't appear to realize how close to war he is with India, or maybe he's counting on the US to hold them off. |
