This is identical to what happened in 2001. When India blamed Pakistan, the rhetoric started and then mobilisation of soldiers began.

Final update: somehow it looks like the NSG have quietly been taking out the terrorists (9 captured alive now apparently). I really have no idea how the hell they are capturing the terrorists alive! Lets hope cooler heads win out tomorrow when the dust settles.

Let me suggest that the main terrorist actors here influenced some young, disgruntled locals into acting with them. The live captures and dead will be these. Maybe even brought in from elsewhere, but still, my point is that the dead and captured "terrorists" might be ill-trained, ill-equipped individuals, intended as bait for the gov't forces to allow the highly trained "real" terrorists to escape. Seems plausible....
The 2001-2002 India-Pakistan standoff was a military standoff between India and Pakistan that resulted in the amassing of troops on either side of the International Border (IB) and along the Line of Control (LoC) in the region of Kashmir. This was the second major military standoff between India and Pakistan following the successful detonation of nuclear devices by both countries in 1998 and the most recent standoff between the nuclear rivals. The other had been the Kargil War. Offensive military build up was initiated by India in response to a militant attack on the Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001 during which fourteen people, including the five men who attacked the building, were killed. India claimed that the attacks were carried out by two Pakistan based militant groups fighting Indian rule in Kashmir

I honestly think you should calm down.
This isn't the start of World War III (again). China has a administrative area in Kashmir and certainly will not allow militarisation of the area. The United Nations will step in to prevent any escalations too.
