NEW DELHI: The United States has confirmed to India that Pakistan's military and intelligence chiefs have effectively admitted that the terrorists
involved in last weeks terror attacks in Mumbai were Pakistani nationals and members of terrorist outfit the Lashkar-e-Taiba, according to a Times Now report.

Chairman of US joint chiefs of staff admiral Michael Mullen made the revelations to national security advisor MK Narayanan and defence minister AK Antony.

Mullen told Indian government officials that he had told Pakistan that the US had evidence that the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks were Pakistani nationals and members of LeT.

Earlier, Mullen had asked Pakistan's top leadership to "investigate aggressively any and all possible ties to groups based in Pakistan", the US embassy said in a statement.

Ok now that Pakistan has admitted to the US that the terrorists responsible for the recent attacks in Mumbai were 'Pakistani Nationals', will India have the green light to launch Millitary Operations inside Pakistan in order to weed out islamist millitants?

And another thing... is the US stoking the fire in order to encourage India into invading Pakistan? We know from main stream media reports that the US has been attacking Millitants within pakistans borders with unmanned drones, so perhaps India is now being purposely sucked into attacking Pakistan from the south east in order to over welm Pakistan??

What are your thoughts on what the out come of this intensifying conflict will be?
