Jammu, November 5: An Indian defence official said on Monday Pakistani troops were continuing to move closer to the border in what he called a threat. A Pakistani strike formation had moved closer to the military control line dividing Kashmir by about 20 km in the last week, the official said in Jammu.

Pakistani troops were also inching closer to the border in the states of Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat. "The movement of their troops closer to the border is a matter of concern for us and we always perceive it as a threat for us," said the official, who did not want to be named.

Islamabad denied any movement of troops to the border when Indian defence officials first spoke of such a buildup last week. The two armies exchanged heavy fire on Sunday across the ceasefire line in Kashmir where tensions has risen since the start of US-led strikes on Afghanistan last month.

This is where they both ran out of ammo 30 years ago.

And you should change yours to "Breaking News From the Islamic Fundamentalist Front." Believe me, I've seen your posts. Not too pretty. Always supporting the Taliban and terrorism. Tsk tsk tsk.

By the way, I am a big supporter of Democratic nations that value freedom, inalienable rights, and a Constitution. If my support for democratic India and its struggles against Islamic Fundamentalism and Chinese Communism offends you so much, maybe you should not be on these boards.

Really? That's a pretty serious charge to level.

Please back that up with some examples so we can all see whether you're telling the truth or not.

Well, they are not out of ammo now. They've also added some...er...interesting things to their "ammo dumps" over the last 30 years.
