Still, the war was also beginning to take its toll on the people of West Pakistan. " The almost constant air raids over Islamabad, Karachi and other cities have brought deep apprehension, even panic," TIME'S Louis Kraar cabled from Rawalpindi.

...Terrorists machine-gunned two plain-clothes detectives who were investigating a burglary in the Catholic district of An-dersonstown. That brought the toll of slain police to six in 16 days, and the army retaliated by sealing off Andersonstown and searching every house. They arrested 28 suspects and seized 3,000 rounds of ammunition, eight guns and a cache of explosive chemicals...
