| That's "confidence building measure", not "continental ballistic missile". |
 Pakistan would not initiate any new confidence-building measures (CBMs) with India until the Muzaffarabad-Srinagar bus service begins, President General Pervez Musharraf told Kashmiri leaders here. The president made clear to a Kashmiri delegation from the US and Britain that Pakistan had responded positively to Indian proposal for the bus service but the matter is hanging because of Indian insistence that passports of respective countries be accepted as travel documents. He said that Pakistan has taken a reasonable position that Kashmir remained a disputed territory and the use of passports would compromise this position. He hoped that leaders of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) would be among the first Kashmiris who would use the bus to come to Muzaffarabad. "I would personally welcome the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders at Muzafarrabad if the Indian government would allow them to visit Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan," a member of the delegation and head of Kashmir-American Council, Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, quoted Musharraf as saying. |
