India aiding Baloch rebels: Musharraf
2006-01-09
NEW DELHI — Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf accused India of arming and financing rebels in the Pakistani province of Balochistan, charges that could push back a peace process between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
"How's the other shoe feel, Perv?"
"It's tight!"
Pakistan’s army launched a crackdown against Balochistan militants after a Dec. 14 rocket attack while Musharraf was visiting the region. Baloch nationalists say 200 people have since been killed, but Pakistan has not commented on casualties. Though India and Pakistan are involved in a two-year peace process that has seen economic, sporting, cultural and transport links improve, tensions remain over Kashmir, their main dispute.

When asked whether India was backing armed Baloch rebels, Musharraf told TV channel CNN-IBN in an interview aired yesterday: “There are lot of indications, yes indeed.” There is a “lot of financial support, support in kind being given to those who are anti-government, anti-me and to those feudal people who are anti-national,” the Pakistani leader said.
So much for the cricket match.
There's the key that he's lying. If the Indo's really were causing trouble in Baluchistan, it would be one tiny step short of war, and Perv would be positively North Korean in his spittle.

#1  I sure the hell hope that India is giving the Pakis some quid pro quo, given the Kashmir subversion run by the terrorist entity.
