| '40 terror camps near Af-Pak border' | ||
| 2010-05-10 | ||
The latest authentication of Pakistans reluctance to rein in terrorists operating out of its territory has come from Russian ambassador to India Alexander M Kadakin: around 40 terror camps are still active in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas and Islamabad is yet to dismantle them.
"From the information we have, there are about 38 to 40 such terror camps. Earlier they would have these bright green boards declaring the name of the organization like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), they have now removed them. However, the camps still remain, Kadakin said, adding Pakistan had not done enough to get rid of these camps. Kadakins statement is extremely significant because it corroborates Indian intelligence reports that LeT has become more active in the region and is looking to target Indias interests in Afghanistan. On the developing situation in Afghanistan, Kadakin said Russia was "united 100% with India".
After his meeting with Russian PM Vladimir Putin in March, PM Manmohan Singh had said India and Russia had agreed to "intensify consultations" on Afghanistan. Kadakin said Russia did not favour immediate withdrawal of US-led forces from Afghanistan, an opinion that will come as music to Indian ears. "We are not for hastened withdrawal. In fact, if they withdraw immediately, there will be hell in Afghanistan. It is important that at least some semblance of order is maintained before it happens," said Kadakin. In the past, Russian authorities have said bringing in more troops in Afghanistan would worsen the situation and NATO should leave immediately after finishing its job. | ||
