OPPOSING CAPITALS

India and Pakistan fought two large scale wars in 1965 and in 1971, and two small scale wars in 1949 and 1999. The recent troubles started on Feb. 14, when a suicide bomber in the Indiancontrolled part of Kashmir rammed a car packed with explosives into an Indian military convoy, killing more than 40 troops. Indians responded and leveled the camps ran by a terrorist group alongside the border, India claimed. The trouble did not end here and a day later Indians wanted more damage but their two planes were shot and a pilot was captured alive. As a goodwill gesture the pilot was returned to India after two days by Pakistani authorities. Both sides are now holding their horses but the fireworks can begin anytime.
