   India's defense minister says India would likely retaliate if
   Pakistan-based militants launched an attack similar to the Mumbai
   assaults that killed more than 160 people.
   M.M. Pallam Raju said Saturday at a security conference in Singapore
   that India, if attacked again, would have difficulty justifying what he
   called "the self-restraint" it showed in the aftermath of the Mumbai
   attacks in 2008.
   India has long suspected that members of Pakistan's intelligence agency
   were involved in the Mumbai attack. The Pakistani government has denied
   the allegations.
   Meanwhile, a Pakistani-American man has recently confessed in a trial
   in Chicago in the U.S. state of Illinois that he scouted the Mumbai
   sites and received weapons and other training from the Pakistan
   militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. David Headly said Lashkar has links
   with Pakistan intelligence.
   Laskhar terrorists took over a hotel, a Jewish center and other
   buildings in Mumbai for three days in November 2008. The attack killed
   166 people.
