Pakistan has redeployed thousands of troops from its western border with Afghanistan to its border with India in the east. Pakistani officials told the New York Times that they had received intelligence that suggested India could soon launch an attack inside Pakistan. The Pakistani troops have been reportedly sent near the boundary that separates Pakistani- and Indian-controlled Kashmir, as well to the area surrounding Lahore about twenty miles from the border with India. Tension between the two nuclear-armed rivals has been mounting since last month’s deadly attack in Mumbai, which India blamed on Pakistani militants.
