India blames Pakistan-based insurgents for air base attack
None
NEW DELHI -- Indian investigators said Monday that they have determined that the leader of a Pakistan-based militant group and three others should face trial for an attack on a military air base in northern India that left seven Indian soldiers dead last January.
The National Investigative Agency said it filed a charge sheet against the four in a court. It said phone intercepts suggest that the four gunmen in the Jan. 2 attack came from Pakistan and were killed by Indian forces.
Empty food packets manufactured in Pakistan and other food articles from the country were recovered from the forest route taken by the attackers to reach the Indian air base, the charge sheet said.
There was no immediate reaction from Pakistan.
