India worried about terror groups near Pak army bases

New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) Defence Minister of India A K
Antony Friday said the terrorist infrastructure is still
intact in Pakistan and most of the outfits are based in the
vicinity of their army bases, which is a cause for concern for
India.

"Almost all the terrorist outfits across the border are
intact and unfortunately many of them are in the vicinity of
their army bases. It is a (cause for) worry and concern for
us," he said when asked about reports suggesting that the
Pakistan administration knew about Lashker-e-Toiba's plans to
carry out another 26/11-type attack in India.
The Defence Minister was talking to reporters on the
sidelines of an award function for Defence Public Sector
Undertakings and Ordnance Factories.
Asked about reports suggesting the possibility of another
26/11-type attack in India, he said, "everybody knows very
well that there is real threat to our security and it is a
continuous one. So far, after 26/11 we have been able to
prevent it to defeat their attempts. Their (terrorists')
attempts are going on but we are also always on guard."
He said unless Pakistan takes "sincere and convincing
action" against terrorist groups and disbands them, it would
be "very difficult" for India to improve relations with it.
