Pakistain's national security advisor has accused India of orchestrating last month's deadly boom-mobileing in the eastern city of Lahore, saying Sunday that an investigation has shown it was organized by an Indian intelligence operative.
In a news conference in Islamabad, Moeed Yousuf said the probe showed that the man was an Indian citizen living in India who works for that country's RAW

intelligence agency. He did not name the alleged criminal mastermind.
``Through the forensic analysis, electronic equipment, which has been recovered from these terrorists, we have identified the main criminal mastermind and the handlers of this terrorist attack. And we have no doubt in informing you that the main criminal mastermind belongs to RAW, lives in India and is an Indian citizen.'' He said Pakistain will continue its efforts to expose India's sponsorship of such attacks internationally.

, who himself has been designated a terrorist by the U.S. Justice Department and has a $10 million bounty on his head. India accuses Saeed of helping criminal mastermind the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed nearly 170 people at several occasions including the luxury Taj Hotel.

India and Pakistain routinely accuse the other of carrying out clandestine attacks on the other's territory. Saeed is a highly wanted suspect in India, and Pakistain has been criticized by India and the United States for not taking stronger actions against him.
Punjab police chief Inam Ghani said all those involved in the bombing have been arrested, including an Afghan who lived in Pakistain and actually parked the explosives-laden car at the site of blast.
Indian External Affairs Ministry front man Arindam Bagchi couldn't be reached for comment.

...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
