Pakistan admission

Pak Admission

Pakistan had finally admitted its involvement in 26/11 terror attacks on innocents by saying that the plot was ?partially? hatched on Pakistan soil. "Partial" is an attempt for face saving, though the attempt is undeniable 'partially' or in full measure. Pakistan's complicity in creating cadres for heinous crimes against humanity is well known and documented for several years, but the wailing voice of India was feeble or discounted by the world community. Though the US had tasted the pangs of terror attacks on its soil, it is doubtful if the Bush administration would have taken a tough stand against its ally. Pakistan did its best to ward off its involvement by saying 'non-state players' for too long, but the hard evidence given by India in November blasts was too difficult to brush off. India did its best to place facts before the international community and the Obama administration put its foot straight against Pak with the evidence gathered by the FBI agents. Perpetrators of crime hardly admit their crimes and this is a universal weakness and Pakistan is no exception. There are also compulsions for the new civilian government in Pakistan to openly admit involvement. In any case, incontrovertible evidence both by India and the FBI and strong resentment of international community culminated in this ' partial' admission. India played its cards well and we must accept the outcome in a positive frame of mind in our effort to contain recurrence of such terror attacks.
