India may hit militants’ camps in Pak

New Delhi, Oct 3: India bristled at Pakistan on Wednesday — two days after a guerrilla attack in Kashmir killed 38 people — and raised the prospect of strikes to destroy militant training camps across the border. The country’s junior foreign affairs minister said he was personally in favour of covert operations to smash training grounds for Islamic militants. And his father, Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah, wept as he demanded retaliation for the suicide bombing at the insurgency-plagued state’s legislative assembly.
“Enough is enough,” he said. “The time has come to wage awar against Pakistan, destroy militant camps.” India has toyed in the past with the idea of “hot pursuit” of militants into Pakistan, but even during a border war in 1999 its troops stopped at the military line of control dividing Kashmir.
