| I think the Indian PM needs a slap upside the head. Is he really so naive? ISI, LeT behind Phulwama blast 21 June 2005: The government is very upset learning of the involvement of Pakistani agencies in the Phulwama school bombing, and the Union home ministry in a paper to the cabinet committee on security is also likely to reveal the use of the Srinagar-Muzzafarabad bus service to send funds across to buy explosives for the blast. Officials said that the Phulwama bombing was a joint operation of Pakistan's ISI and the Lashkar-e-Toiba, and that unable to infiltrate explosives into Jammu and Kashmir through the border, funds were sent on the bus from Muzzafarabad, to buy it locally, with the involvement of some front persons. While the agencies were able to determine the local purchases, the Phulwama explosion took place before the terror network could be busted, and the government is perturbed that explosives were available locally easily. But it is also likely that prime minister Manmohan Singh may make a statement on the Phulwama bombing, especially pointing to the terrorists' abuse of a bus service meant to bring Kashmiris on both sides of the LoC together in peace. |
