Armitage is coming, Armitage is coming

Armitage to visit India, Pak. again before polls

By Hasan Suroor

LONDON JUNE 26. The United States Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage, has said that it is important that the coming State Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir are free of violence and "judged to be free and fair by the international community.''

Mr. Armitage, whose recent visit to India and Pakistan helped de-escalate the tension in the region, said that he
planned to visit the two countries again ahead of the Assembly elections in Kashmir and the national elections in
Pakistan.
Mr. Armitage, who extracted a promise from the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, that he would put a
"permanent'' end to cross-border terrorism across the Line of Control, said that there were signs that infiltration had fallen sharply in the recent weeks. But he warned that the Al-Qaeda could still be active in Kashmir — Washington had "snippets'' of information that it could be operating in the region
