A Pakistani police officer stands guard outside a mosque belonging to a banned religious group in Islamabad, Pakistan, Wednesday, March 6, 2019. Pakistan retaliated, shooting down two Indian planes and capturing a pilot, who was later returned to India in a peace gesture. In another effort aimed at easing tension with India, Pakistan on Tuesday arrested dozens of people including the brother of the leader of the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammad militant group, which claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in Kashmir. The new violence flared up at several places along the Line of Control that divides the Himalayan territory of Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Pakistan denies the allegation, saying it only offers moral support to Kashmiris seeking the right to self-determination for the entire territory.
