Cross-border infiltration is 'down', insists US

As India continues to demand a permanent end to cross-border terrorism, the United States said it has assessed that terrorists' infiltration into Jammu and Kashmir from Pakistan has come down.

The cross-border infiltration of terrorists from Pakistan is 'down', state department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters in Washington on Thursday.

When pointed out by a reporter that India continues to say it 'hasn't stopped', Boucher said, "I did not say stopped, I said down."

When the reporter persisted that India does not think 'it is down sufficiently', the spokesman said, "I am afraid I am not in a position to discuss this any further because of the nature of the information we might have."

"That is our assessment and we will be looking forward to discuss with the Indian government and the others their assessments on this very important issue," he said.
