General Pervez Musharraf will announce a ban on the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyeba on Saturday, official sources said in Islamabad. The long-awaited speech on a new terrorism policy will also include bans on two domestic sectarian terrorist groups, Tehrik-i-Fiqah Jafaria and Sipahi Sahaba. That single move should defuse the tensions between the two countries, assuming he follows through and actually shuts them down. They will, of course, try to come back under assumed names, but that can be dealt with if the Paks are really serious. |
