NEW DELHI: Implying continuing military-links between Islamabad and the Taliban, India has charged Pakistan of returning two helicopters it had seized recently from the militia. Despite this revelation made at external affair and defence minister Jaswant Singh's press conference Thursday, India sought to lower tensions between the two countries by virtually ruling out any attacks on terrorist camps across the Line of Control. He said the military helicopters were flown out to Pakistani territory because the Taliban feared they would be destroyed in American air attacks. The military helicopters were unlikely to be used for any peaceful purpose, he said.
