Pakistan may deserve to be on the State Department's list of pro-terrorist states, but that doesn't mean Washington can afford to put it there. The U.S. has information pointing to an organization backed by the Pakistani military as the culprits in the recent hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane, the New York Times reported Tuesday. But Pakistan's military ruler, General Parvez Musharraf, has rebuffed a U.S. request to ban the Harkat ul-Mujahedeen, the organization allegedly responsible for the attack. Nonetheless, by publicly discussing Pakistan's involvement in terrorism, the U.S. is turning up the heat...

...Pakistan. While Pakistan's military ruler, General Parvez Musharraf, officially condemned the hijacking, his armed forces - still smarting from their political defeat in last year's attempted land grab in the Indian-controlled section of Kashmir - don't appear set to rein in anti-Indian terrorism originating within Pakistani borders. Maulana Masood Azhar, the Pakistani cleric whose release from an Indian prison was the key demand of the Indian Airlines hijackers, celebrated his release at a rally in Karachi, Pakistan, on Wednesday, where he urged all Muslims not to rest "until we have destroyed America and India." And that...
...anti-Indian terrorists after negotiations with the hijackers of Indian Airlines Flight IC 814. Then other U.N.-member nations joined in, angered by the precedent India set by caving. So Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on Monday tried to lay the blame on arch-nemesis Pakistan, saying the Pakistani government trained the hijackers and is now harboring them. But like every move India's made since the hijacking, the accusations backfired, and now both the domestic press and foreign media are decrying Vajpayee's accusations as unfounded...
