The state of Pakistan had nothing to do with the attack. But there are networks in Pakistan who think it suits them that the two countries come to war. The suicide bomber from Indian held Kashmir confessed in a video message released by his local JeM chapter that he had joined the network’s Fidayeen group. The Pulwama incident has brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war not because Pakistan had anything to do with the attack but because despite Masood Azhar’s credentials he was allowed to remain free in Pakistan where he regularly propagated jihad against India. Thus, some of the terrorist groups that Pakistan had ignored because these were supposed to pose no hazard to Pakistan’s security have turned into a threat to the country’s economic lifeline.
