<Question for the thread: Does India have a legitimate right to (1) capture him in Pakistan and bring him to justice in India; (2) execute him for his terrorist activities inside India? > 1. No. Pakistan (like India) is a sovereign country. Extradition may be an option, but I've never heard it happen. 2. If apprehended in Indian territory, the death sentence is available.

Does India have a legitimate right If they consider themselves at war, yes. And they are willing to risk it.

Speaking of....this off the breaking wire...Indian Army: Pakistani Surface-to-Air Missile Found at Militant Hide-Out in Kashmir Dec 14, 2002 By Mujtaba Ali Ahmad Associated Press Writer SRINAGAR, India (AP) - Indian soldiers discovered a Pakistani surface-to-air missile in a suspected militant hide-out in Indian-controlled Kashmir - the first such find in 13 years, the military said Saturday. The heat-seeking missile was found Friday in the border district of Kupwara, the Indian Army said in a statement. The area is near the cease-fire line that divides the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir between India and Pakistan. "The missile has clear Pakistani Army markings, which is evidence of the clear involvement of Pakistan in supporting militancy in Kashmir," the army statement said. India has long accused Islamabad of proving arms and training to Islamic militants fighting India's rule over part of the divided Kashmir. Pakistan says it only gives ideological support to the rebels - whom it considered "freedom fighters" - and not weapons. Pakistani military officials dismissed India's claim. "India is again leveling baseless allegations against us just to divert the attention of the international community from the real problem, but we are sure the world community is aware of these tactics," Pakistan military spokesman Gen. Rashid Quereshi said in Islamabad. The 33-pound missile, with a 22-pound warhead, was wrapped in plastic and buried in the Mallarpur Forest, a senior Indian officer said on condition of anonymity. It could be used to attack aircraft, he said, adding that it was labeled "ANZA MK 1." Other ammunition and weapons were found at the site, the officer said. According to British military journal Jane's Defense Weekly, the Anza Mark 1 missile is manufactured in Pakistan. It has a maximum range of 2.6 miles and a speed of 1,640 feet per second. The missile was uncovered near the village of Dhrugmulla, possibly ahead of an operation by Islamic guerrillas sneaking into Indian-controlled Kashmir through the mountains, another Indian officer said on condition of anonymity. Since 1989, rebels have been fighting for either a merger with Islamic Pakistan or independence for Indian-controlled Kashmir, the only Muslim-majority state in predominantly Hindu India. The two nuclear-armed South Asian rivals have fought two wars over Kashmir since gaining independence from Britain in 1947. Also Saturday in Kashmir, a paramilitary group killed three men identified as members of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba militant group, group commander Ramesh Kumar said. The three men began firing at security forces from a bus that was stopped at Verinag, 60 miles south of Srinagar, the summer capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state. They were killed in the ensuing gunbattle, Kumar said. AP-ES-12-14-02 1254EST This story can be found at: ap.tbo.com
