Relations between India and Pakistan were on a knife edge today as Indian authorities combed through the wreckage of last week's attacks on Bombay and interrogated the one Pakistani militant captured.
A senior Pakistani security official has warned that Pakistan would pull back troops fighting Islamist militants on the Afghan frontier if India builds up its forces on Pakistan's border, as it did after an attack by Pakistani militants on India's parliament in 2001.
He said the next 48 hours would be crucial for the two nuclear-armed neighbours, which have fought three wars since winning independence from Britain in 1947, and almost went to a fourth after the Indian parliament attacks.
"If something happens on that front, the war on terror won't be our priority," the senior security officer told journalists at a briefing.
"We'll take out everything from the western border. We won't leave anything there."
His threat was clearly designed to encourage the United States and its allies to temper India's response to the attacks, which it has blamed on "elements" in Pakistan – most likely the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
U.S. President George W. Bush has pledged his support for India, now considered a U.S. ally, but Washington also has close ties to Pakistan, its key Muslim partner in the War on Terror.
Pakistani troops are currently engaged in their biggest operation so far against al Qaeda and Taleban militants near the border with Afghanistan, where U.S. intelligence believes Osama bin Laden is hiding.
India's coalition government, led by the Congress Party, is under enormous political pressure to respond to the Bombay attacks so that it does not appear soft on terrorism in the run-up to national elections due by May.

At some point India will get tired of the line of crap from Pakistan that they will handle it. They aren’t handling it and the attacks on the villages by US drones are another sign that they aren’t handling it.
Pakistan needs to be called to stand up or the whole nation will pay the price.
What happened to the “nations harboring terrorists”?
IMHO, we should just let each other blow each other up. What they are obviously saying is that they want more money from the US for “protection”.
This gives them a good pretext for doing what they have wanted all along. As long as "moderate" Muslims continue to get vicarious pleasure from attacks like those in Mumbai, they cannot avoid being targets of justified anger themselves. This is an ever escalating spiral. We must pray that this does not end up in a nuclear holocaust for both Pakistan and India.
“What happened to the “nations harboring terrorists”?”
...doesn’t apply to Pakistan...nation IS terrorist.
Good News! We are now free to roam around the northwestern part of Pakistan!

Well, reminds me of U.S. Civil War in aspects, also of WWI. A disagreement exists, and arrangements are such that eventually it’s going to come to a head. Only question in my mind is do the guys in Delhi think this is the time to react, or do they wait for yet another such Pakistan-backed/supported incursion.
Looks like India must react, at least in Kashmir.
To bad for U.S. that she’s sailing into this one with a largely untested captain. Hope Commander In Chief Obama is a quick study. He’s a Harvard grad, so that makes me oh so confident. /sarc
EVERYWHERE!
Maybe India should lay utter and total nuclear waste to Pakistan. Maybe a radioactive DMZ is the only thing these Islamic animals will understand.
I, for one, do not believe that Pakistan’s efforts in waging a ‘war’ on Islamic militants is anythingmore than a series of staged conflicts for Public Relations.
Consider, in the USA terrorists take out 2 of our buildings, we took out two countries. Then in India, terrorists attack business centers and Pakistan is blown off the map. Even a relatively dull terrorist should figure out that every time they provoke the civilized world - they lose 1000x more than they gain. Pakistan is not our friend, they will stab us in the back at the first opportunity and laugh while they do it. We would not be the first victim in this regard.
I can only wonder if the India civil liberties association is fretting about what they did to make these people so angry?
Pakistan needs to be concerned about us feeling forced to make a choice between the two, because if we ever have to, we're going to choose India.
