 NEW DELHI (AP) - Pakistan must clamp down on Islamic militants and keep them from attacking India if peace efforts between the nuclear-armed rivals are to succeed, India's president said Friday, days after the bombing of a train linking the countries killed 68 people.
Since the attack Sunday night on the Samjhauta Express in northern India, officials on both sides have shied away from the usual fingerpointing that follows such attacks.
But the comments by President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, made in a speech opening the budget session of Parliament, were the latest in a series of statements from Indian officials suggesting they believe the culprits to be militant groups based in Pakistan.
