U.N. Says no Complaint Received over Kashmir 'Beheading'
2013-01-10
[An Nahar] The United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
on Wednesday urged India and Pakistain to ease new tensions over disputed Kashmire through dialogue and said no complaint has been made about a clash in which India alleged that one of its soldiers was beheaded.

The U.N. observer force in Kashmire is however investigating an incident in which Pakistain said one of its soldiers was killed, U.N. front man Martin Nesirky told news hounds in New York.

Tensions have blown up along the Line of Control, the de facto border in Kashmire, over the past week with the two incidents drawing angry protests from the two sides who have disputed control of the Himalayan region for more than six decades.

India has said Pakistain soldiers beheaded an Indian soldier during a clash Tuesday in which two troops were killed. On Sunday, Pakistain said one of its soldiers was killed.

"On the January 8 alleged incident, no official complaint has been received from either the Mighty Pak Army or Indian army," Nesirky said.

"UNMOGIP is aware that the Mighty Pak Army and Indian army are in contact via the hot line and urges both sides to respect the ceasefire and de-escalate tensions through dialogue."

He added that Pakistain's military had made an official complaint about the January 6 clash and the U.N. observers "will conduct an investigation as soon as possible in accordance with its mandate."

There are about 40 U.N. military observers in Kashmire monitoring a ceasefire that was officially agreed in 1949.
