ISLAMABAD/SRINAGAR: Pakistan to respond back hard in case Indian Armydesired to fulfil its dream of crossing the border and launching a strikeacross the border.

Pakistan warned India against cross-border strikes after Indian authoritiesblamed Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) for an attack on an Army campin which soldiers were targetedlink>in Jammu.

It was the worst in months, with five soldiers and the father of one of thesoldiers killed and women and children among the ten wounded.

India said the heavily armed attackers were members of the JeM, drawingcriticism from Pakistan about rushing to judgment without a full inquiry.

“It is a well established pattern that Indian officials begin makingirresponsible statements and levelling unfounded allegations, even beforeany proper investigation in any incident has been initiated,” Pakistan’sforeign ministry said in a statement.

India, it said, was making these allegations to divert attention from itsbrutality in trying to control the armed revolt in Kashmir, and warnedagainst any retaliatory measures across the Line of Control (LoC).

“We hope that the international community would urge India to stop theuntold atrocities and gross violations of human rights in Kashmir (and)refrain from any misadventure across the Line of Control…” it said.

India has long accused Pakistan of training and arming terrorists andhelping them infiltrate across the heavily militarised LoC into Jammu andKashmir.

The head of the Jammu & Kashmir state police, SP Vaid, told reporters overthe weekend that they had communication intercepts pointing to the JeM,which has emerged as a top group fighting hundreds of thousands of Indianforces in Kashmir.

The Army said the attackers wore fatigues and had assault rifles, a UBGLand grenades.
