India 'was planning to attack Pakistan'

Boy would this have been a mess ! with all the other conflicts in the region , one more may not have made much of a difference . But it could create a major problem ! With Pakistan as unstable as they are , and India as pissed off as they can get ! I am surprised they did not go at it !
Pakistan is being pushed a bit closer to having to make a choice on who's side to really be on !

India was planning to launch a military strike against Pakistan over the Mumbai attacks which killed over 170 people, a Pakistani official says.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to London Wajid Shamsul Hassan said there was evidence suggesting that India had plans to make a quick attack against Pakistan after the Mumbai terror attacks "to teach Pakistan a lesson", the BBC reported.

"This is what we were told by our friends that there could possibly be a quick strike at some of the areas they suspect to be the training camps, an air raid or something of that sort," the news network quoted Hassan as saying.

India has made no comment on Hassan's remarks.

On November 26, ten gunmen attacked multiple locations in India's financial capital, killing more than 170 people, including 22 foreigners, and injuring hundreds in the worst terror strike in the country in more than a decade, with many describing it as India's 9/11.

The US and Indian intelligence reports suggested the Mumbai attacks were carried out by the Pakistan-based Kashmiri militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Islamabad continues to express skepticism over involvement of Pakistani 'elements' in the incident.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Islamabad demanded the world community to cooperate against the global terrorism.

"This (the attack) remind us that it is a global struggle and all responsible states will have to play their role in making certain that the terrorist cannot get away with this kind of attack," Rice said at a news conference on Thursday in Islamabad.

Rice's remark came a day after Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari warned of militant's capability to destabilize the whole region.

Zardari's warning over the spread of violence in the whole region comes as the country has been hit by a wave of violence and has lost thousands of lives after the country's former military ruler joined Bush administration's 'war in terror' in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks.

“We live in troubled times where non-state actors have taken us to war before, whether it is the case of those who perpetrated [the] 9/11 [attacks] or contributed to the escalation of the situation in Iraq,” said Zardari.

“Even if the militants are linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, who do you think we are fighting?” Zardari asked.

US military forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 to 'eradicate terrorism' and guarantee peace and security for the whole region.

Bush's war on terror zone has however entered Pakistan with US-led missile strikes hitting the country's tribal areas where US officials claim Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants are hiding. The attacks have claimed the lives of many civilians, rising anti-American sentiment in the country.
