India lodges protest with Pakistan over Kashmir attack | News | DW.DE | 06.08.2013
So just 3 days ago I started watching this series called The West Wing. I know it's a popular one, but considering I was in secondary school when the first season started I didn't care much for it back then. Anyway, in the first season there is this problem between India and Pakistan and maybe there's a threat of war and the USA has to cater a peace treaty, which it does with the help of the brits.
Now this is like a deja-vu. Prepare to get your supplies for nuclear winter ready. It's about to get hot and heavy if this situation isn't resolved quickly and peacefully. Tensions are higher now then they've been in decades and have only escalated since the start of the year. And all this over a spit of dirt.
India has lodged a 'strong protest' with Pakistan over the killing of five soldiers in Kashmir. The attack close to the cease-fire line is threatening plans for fresh talks on the disputed Himalayan region.
India claims that five of its soldiers were killed when Pakistani troops fired at their post in Poonch, on Indian-controlled territory close to the “Line of Control.”
New Delhi told Pakistan's deputy envoy that they considered the Tuesday incident a “gross violation” of a cease-fire agreement from 2003.
"The ambush was carried out by approximately 20 heavily armed terrorists along with persons dressed in Pakistan Army uniforms," Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony said in a statement to parliament.
Pakistan has denied any involvement and rejected claims that its soldiers may have crossed into Indian territory.
