The Associated Press: Indian PM: 'Nobody wants war' after terror attack
NEW DELHI (AP) — India's prime minister insisted Tuesday that "nobody wants war" as he tried to calm fears a day after Pakistan sent fighter jets into the skies amid heightened tensions between the two nations.
Relations between the longtime, nuclear-armed rivals have been strained since the Mumbai terrorist attacks that killed 164 people last month.
India blames militants operating from Pakistani soil and wants Islamabad to crack down; Pakistan says India has not provided proof of Pakistani involvement.
Seeking to temper tensions, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, made his second visit to Pakistan since the Mumbai attacks. He urged the country's leadership to work with India to fight terrorism.
Also visiting Pakistan, the head of Interpol said Islamabad has agreed to work with the global police agency to help investigate the attacks. But three weeks into the probe, India has not yet shared any evidence that would help the agency identify suspects from other countries, Ronald Noble said.
