Pakistan refutes report on terrorist training camps in AJK
2010-11-07
(KUNA) -- Pakistain Saturday refuted an international media report alleging that it was running terrorist training camps in Azad Jammu and Kashmire.
Not running, exactly. Merely providing the land, the improvements, the funding, and perhaps a few instructors. But not actually running the places.
Foreign Office front man in a statement termed the BBC report as baseless and malicious. Such groundless reports are aimed at undermining the legitimate struggle of Kashmiris for their right to self-determination, he said.

The front man added that Pakistain was committed to continue extending full diplomatic and moral support to Kashmiris in their struggle against Indian occupation.

Kashmire is a disputed territory between India and Pakistain since independence in 1947. The two neighboring nuclear rivals have fought three wars on the issue and initiated peace dialogue as well but it remains unresolved.
Pakistain has in fact gobbled up a considerable part of Kashmire, hence "Azad Jammu & Kashmire," or "free" (in the Pakistaini sense of the word) Jammu & Kashmire. The area is "disputed" because they want the rest.
