The latest :
Pak has accepted India's offer for talks, for details http://news.excite.com/news/ap/010524/14/news-pakistan-india
some excerpts :
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan welcomed India's offer of peace talks but denounced its nuclear-armed neighbor for ending a cease-fire in disputed Kashmir, saying Thursday the move gives Indian soldiers free rein for "state terrorism against the Kashmiri people."
the acceptance itself starts from a negative note, bloody pak, they say it doesn't matter if terrorist slay innocent people, that we should not attack them bastards.
India called a cease-fire in late November in an attempt to bring Kashmiri militants into peace talks. But most of the militants rejected the truce and attacks persisted, and the government had to admit the initiative's failure as it ended the cease-fire.
some jihad this
But Abdullah Muntazir, secretary general of the militant Kashmiri separatist group Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, "categorically" rejected the Indian offer as "an attempt to weaken Jihad (holy war) in occupied Kashmir."
More than 30,000 people have been killed in Kashmir since Islamic separatists launched an insurgency in 1989, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistan. Human rights activists put the death toll at 60,000.
the talks are scheduled to begin with scorn about the cease fire, what can be expected from such talks? what if the talks fails? is there any chance of them succeeding?
