Pakistan closes 'lots' of Kashmiri training camps: FM
2003-04-08
Pakistan Foreign Minister Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri has said that Pakistan has closed camps for the training of Kashmiris as well as stopped collection of money for the fighters in public places.
"How many'd you close?"
"Lots."

"We have done a lot. Lots of training camps have been closed and we have stopped public donations for those fighting for Kashmir," Kasuri told the UN information news service in Islamabad, lying through his teeth. He was replying to a question that there has been a lot of pressure from the international community, post-11 September, to stop the infiltration over the line of control in the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, but it has not stopped.
Cheeze. Even the UN noticed, huh?
The foreign minister said that some of the Kashmiri leaders have also been arrested and then released, adding Pakistan is trying to control the movement in the area and it has been reduced considerably. He reiterated Pakistan's suggestion for deployment of international monitoring to check cross-border-moment. "If some people are prepared to die despite efforts by the Pakistan army and police forces, my question to the international community is: there are 250,000 Indian soldiers on the line of control itself, which means there is one soldier for every three meters and, if they can't control the infiltration, how do they expect us to," he asked.
It'll be controlled when they've paved it, won't it?

#3  In my estimate Pak-jihadis in NWFP and Balochistan will get their hands on $100,000,000 in US aid, distributed under Pigistan's constitutional redistribution formula. And these wild animals endorse suicide massacre against American soldiers. I have made several law firms aware of the gross negligence of the Norquist-Bush government, in subsidizing jihad in Pakistan. American taxpayers will pay for this jihad subsidy.

Yes, I know the website is Indian but the article was originally written in the washington post which I can't find any more. Here is the original source. The content has been moved but the title and picture is still there.
