We'll know something bad is going to go down the instant the State Department slaps travel warnings down for Pakistan(there is probably some for there already) and India. Then they'll ask for US citizens to leave the countries.

When Pakistan moves ALL the troops from the Afgan border then we should worry. Maybe India thinks that it should take care of this problem now while Pakistan only has a few Nukes instead of waiting untill later, just a thought.

India, Pakistan exchange heavy mortar fire

Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged heavy mortar fire over their border in southern Kashmir, a senior Indian army official said.

Brigadier P.C. Das said the heaviest shelling was in the Pallanwalla sector, 80 kilometres (50 miles) west of the Kashmiri winter capital Jammu. Five Indian soldiers were seriously injured.

The two sides also exchanged mortar fire in nearby Nowshera sector, where more than 1,000 villagers had to be evacuated from their homes overnight Sunday.

"This is the heaviest mortar shelling we have seen for four months," Das said, claiming that the Pakistani units had fired first.

India and Pakistan regularly trade artillery, mortar and small arms fire across their disputed Kashmir border, but the clashes have taken on added significance and danger in the past week amid heightened military tensions between the two rivals.

The State Department better get on the stick, it's starting to look bad.

We'll know something bad is going to go down the instant the State Department slaps travel warnings down for Pakistan(there is probably some for there already) and India. Then they'll ask for US citizens to leave the countries.
