Pakistan Warns India Deploying Missiles in Kashmir to Launch Attack

Ayaz Gul

   Pakistan says rival India has deployed, among other escalatory steps,
   medium-range missiles in the disputed Kashmir allegedly to stage a
   cross-border military attack and harm regional peace.

   Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in a video statement
   Thursday he has written to the United Nations Security Council to share
   Islamabad's concerns about what it perceives as the threat New Delhi
   poses to regional security.

   In the letter, Qureshi said he has requested the world body task U.N.
   observer missions in India and Pakistan to conduct an independent
   verification of the ground situation and bring "the facts" to the
   Council's attention.

   "Signals picked up by our intelligence point towards an extraordinary
   (military) movement and deployment at the Line of Control (LoC)," the
   minister said while referring to the cease-fire line separating
   Pakistani and Indian portions of Kashmir.
