India-Pakistan: February 21, 2001

Archives

India will extend the Kashmir ceasefire until the end of May. The Kashmiri rebels have rejected the ceasefire. Hindu nationalists in India are becoming more vocal in opposing the ceasefire. It was also revealed today that three Uighur Moslems from China were killed last month in Kashmir. Before they died from their wounds, two of the  Uighurs admitted they were trained by Moslem fundamentalists in Pakistan. In Pakistan's Baluchistan, two rockets were fired at a police station. It turns out that the rocket attacks are not only the result of Baluchistan separatists, but also involve a feud between factions of the powerful Baluchi Marri tribe. The factions are fighting over a commercial dispute involving a coal mine.
