India Says 40 Terror Camps Still Active in Pakistan

Tell you what, the Indians better not use the US UAV offensive in Pakistan as a precedent to start targeting the 40 terror camps their Defence Minister thinks are active in Pakistan or we'll get a chance to test their war plans against each other.

Over 40 terror training camps are still functioning in Pakistan, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said Wednesday, asking Islamabad to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure operating from its soil to show its commitment to the resumption of talks between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
“There are more than 40 terror camps in Pakistan. Pakistan must take action against terrorists and dismantle terror infrastructure,” Antony told reporters on the sidelines of a conference on defence accounts.

Asked if the sub-continental peace process had restarted after the April 29 talks in Thimphu between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Yousuf Raza Gilani, Antony said: “You cannot change neighbours. We are committed to the peace process. It is high time Pakistan took action to match its words.”

He said Indian forces were maintaining strict vigil in Jammu and Kashmir to stop any possible militant incursion from across the border.
