Pakistan arrested two men suspected of involvement in attempts to assassinate Pakistan's president. The men were caught in the tribal areas along the Afghan border. Another Pakistani Islamic radical was arrested in Saudi Arabia, where he was turned in by Saudi civilians. Pakistani Islamic radicals are fleeing their usual hiding places. Some are going to Kashmir, but the government has made it clear that there should be no sanctuary for anti-government Islamic radicals in the Kashmir camps used by Islamic radicals fighting in Indian Kashmir. This prohibition is not always respected and may cause problems. The fighting continues in Kashmir, despite the increasing difficulty in getting across the "Line of Control" (border) between Pakistani and Indian Kashmir. Inside Indian Kashmir, the Islamic radical continue to use terror against Kashmiri Moslems who refuse to support the radicals.
