Pakistan 'must have' backed terror attacks, says Singh - Asia, World - The Independent

India's Prime Minister has raised the war of words with Pakistan by claiming its authorities "must have" had a hand in the terror attack on Mumbai that killed 172 people.

In the most outspoken comments yet from an Indian official, Manmohan Singh said the sophistication of the November attacks meant the terrorists must have had the support of some "official agencies in Pakistan".

While he stopped short of directly accusing the Pakistani government, Mr Singh's comments drew a defiant response from Pakistan. The country's Foreign Ministry accused Mr Singh of engaging in a "propaganda offensive".

This guy needs to STFU cos he's saying stuff he cannot possibly back up. It is a safe bet that Pakistani ISI knew all about this group, but it's also cast iron that the pakistani political establishment not only didn't know anything about it, but cannot do anything to curb ISI in future.

So blathering on like this only risks humiliating the pakistani govt to no good result. And I suspect that hte Indian PM knows this, which makes me wonder what he knows is so bad within the indian establishment that he's willing to risk a war to hide it.
