India is carefully monitoring the situation. The Tomahawk missiles which struck at various places in Afghanistan overflew Pakistani territory. Apart from raising questions of international law, it has a bearing on US-Pakistan relations—specifically, the inherent contradiction in Pakistan's dual allegiance to Islamist movements and its old role as a frontline state for American interests. It also reinforces India's case that Pakistan has been sponsoring terrorism in India from bases in its own territory and Afghanistan. According to initial reports by a Pakistani news agency, quoting militant group Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, five Pakistanis training to fight in India were killed in the strike on a training camp near Khost about 90 miles south of Kabul, not far from the Pakistani border. New Delhi has innumerable times drawn world attention to training camps operating out of Afghan and Pakistani territories, mostly run by the Pakistani intelligence agency, ISI. The US administrations have, as a general rule, chosen to wink at the evidence provided by India over the years. Except briefly during the Bush administration, when Washington came close to declaring Pakistan a terrorist state.
