Fiscal realities make new conflict between rivals less likelyBy Henry Chu and Laura King Tribune NewspapersDecember 6, 2008NEW DELHI—Hostility between India and Pakistan is at its worst in years, but tensions stemming from last week’s terror attacks in Mumbai are unlikely to bloom into full-blown war between the nuclear-armed rivals—at least for now, according to analysts on both sides of the border.
Indian authorities say that the gunmen whose rampage killed 171 people in Mumbai were trained and guided by the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. New Delhi has demanded that Islamabad turn over leaders of Lashkar and has refused to rule out military action, warning that it had the right to protect its territory “with all the means at our disposal.”
