...Pakistan and India following the terrorism attacks in Mumbai in November. In response to Indian threats to act against militants based in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, Pakistan has redeployed some of its military forces from the Afghan border region to the Indian border. The U.S. envoy's biggest challenge may lie in convincing the Pakistani military that its larger and better-equipped Indian rival represents no threat. It is to counteract India's conventional military superiority that Pakistan has developed unconventional capabilities, from its nuclear weapons arsenal to its covert arming and training of Islamist insurgents to fight India in Kashmir...
