U.S. may have averted an Indo-Pak war

India's demand was that Pakistan shut down Laskar-e-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. These are the two groups that India has had the most trouble with.

Laskar-e-Tayyaba
- Group's Leader was freed from Indian jail after the Indian Airline was hijacked to Khandahar (Taliban connection)
- Group according to Pakistani intelligence claims to be the source of 70% of Pak originated militant activities in Kashmir.
- India claims (and now US agrees) that Laskar was the group behind the Dec 13th suicide attempt on the Indian Parliament in New Delhi.
- Group has been on the terrorist list of the US after Spet 11.

Jaish-e-Mohammed
- Another group Pakistan claims to give "moral and political" support to.
- This group claimed responsibility for the Oct 1 attack on the Jammu and Kashmir State Parliament building.
- This group is also on the US terrorist List.

The US, having gotten proof from India, has named Laskar as the group responsible for the Dec 13th attack and is putting pressure on Pakistan to shut it down.

If Pakistan shuts Laskar down and may be even Jaish in the future, that will go a really long way in averting any need for conflict between India and Pakistan.
