- <p> India and Pakistan were talking war last week, but so far
- they have exchanged only angry words. Prime Minister V.P. Singh
- told Parliament that the people of India must be made
- "psychologically" ready for war with Pakistan, and that
- Islamabad would have to pay a "very high price" if it did not
- desist from fanning the secessionist uprising in India's Kashmir
- region. The next day General Mirza Aslam Beg, Pakistan's chief
- of army staff, fired back in a press release. "Threatening
- statements from India," it read, "were really serious and called
- for a high state of preparedness and vigilance to frustrate the
- demands of the enemy."

- <p> The guerrillas were also hitting hard. The Jammu Kashmir
- Liberation Front killed three hostages. Another militant group
- carried the conflict beyond Kashmir for the first time by
- bombing a train near Bombay, injuring 35 people, as well as two
- New Delhi police stations, where four policemen were wounded.
