Pakistan Claims 'Irrefutable Evidence' of Indian Links to Terrorism on
Pakistani Soil

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has accused rival India of running dozens of
   training camps in Afghanistan for multiple globally outlawed militant
   groups to plot terrorism on Pakistani soil to destabilize the country.
   Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and army spokesman Major-General
   Babar Iftikhar, at a joint news conference Saturday, presented what
   they said was "irrefutable evidence" linking India directly to almost
   all recent terrorist attacks across Pakistan.
   Babar displayed for the first time what he said were documents, banking
   transactions worth millions of dollars, audio clips and details of
   contacts between Indian intelligence operatives and diplomats with
   fugitive Pakistani militants operating out of Afghanistan.
   "Uncontrivable evidence reveals that Indian embassies and consulates
   operating along Pakistan's borders have become hub of terror
   sponsorship against Pakistan," the general said.
   "We have verifiable evidence of terrorists funding by India. Indian
   ambassadors in Afghanistan have been regularly supervising various
   terrorist activities," Babar added.
   Neither Indian officials nor the Afghan government have immediately
   commented on the Pakistani allegations, though both New Delhi and Kabul
   have in the past rejected similar allegations levelled by Islamabad.
   "The evidence provided by Pakistan provides concrete proof of Indian
   financial and material sponsorship of multiple terrorist organizations,
   including U.N.-designated terrorist organizations Jamaat ul Ahrar,
   Bloch Liberation Army and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan," Qureshi said.
   The groups Qureshi named are believed to have taken shelter in
   Afghanistan after fleeing years of sustained Pakistani counterterrorism
   operations. U.S. drone strikes against suspected militant hideouts in
   the neighboring country have also killed top fugitive leaders of these
   groups.
   The foreign minister said his government would share the "dossier" with
   the United Nations and five permanent members of the U.N. Security
   Council, including the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France
   to pressure India to halt its terrorist actives inside Pakistan.
   "We are now presenting irrefutable evidence to the world to demonstrate
   the Indian state's direct sponsorship of terrorism in Pakistan that has
   resulted in the deaths of innocent Pakistanis. The international
   community can no longer turn a blind eye to this rogue behavior,"
   Qureshi said.
