    Mission Accomplished II

    While the attack was in India, the actual target was likely Pakistan.

    Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called Oct. 10 for the normalization of ties with Pakistan and said he sought "a solution of all issues that cause estrangement, including Jammu and Kashmir" through talks in an atmosphere free of violence.

    India, Pakistan Foreign Ministers Seek to Advance Peace Process

    By Bibhudatta Pradhan

    Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- India and Pakistan will seek to advance their more than 5-year-old peace process when foreign ministers of the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors meet in New Delhi.

    Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi starts a four- day visit to India today and will hold talks with his counterpart Pranab Mukherjee, India’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

    India and Pakistan have been seeking to improve ties since 2003, after they came close to fighting a fourth war the previous year. The two countries are in talks on issues such as control of the Himalayan territory of Kashmir, commercial cooperation, terrorism and drug trafficking.
