India Accuses Pakistan of Aiding Terrorists

“Militants are getting support from across the border [Pakistan] and it is a matter of serious concern,” Dawn

India’s Defence Minister A. K. Antony said on Monday he was seriously concerned about support for militants from Pakistan after a string of bomb attacks in the nation’s capital killed 22 people at the weekend.

His remarks came as police said they were closing in on several Muslim suspects for the bombings in the heart of New Delhi in which nearly 100 people were wounded.

India, which used to blame Pakistan for violent attacks in the country including in the occupied Kashmir, has in recent months become more cautious about making these allegations. Some of the violence may have been perpetrated by home-grown groups, it has said.

But on Monday Mr Antony reiterated long standing concerns.

“Militants are getting support from across the border and it is a matter of serious concern,” he said when reporters asked him if he thought militants were still sneaking in from Pakistan.
