India    has accused Pakistan of allowing the Lahore-based militant group    Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to operate unchecked and accused LeT of masterminding    and launching the attack.   The nuclear-armed rivals have fought three wars in the last 60 years, with as    many as an estimated million soldiers massing on the border as they have    headed towards - and then pulled back from - war in recent years, with the    disputed territory of Kashmir at the heart of their differences.    The rhetoric from both sides has intensified in the last week, provoking the    latest bellisose move by Pakistan.   Pakistani officials said that the troops deploying to the Indian border were    being diverted away from tribal areas near Afghanistan. The move is likely    to frustrate the United States which has been pushing Pakistan to step up    its fight against al-Qaeda and Taliban militants near the Afghan border.   Two intelligence officials said the army's 14th Division was being redeployed    to the towns of Kasur and Sialkot, close to the Indian border. They said    some 20,000 troops were on the move. Earlier, a security official said that    all troop leave had been canceled.   In India, the prime minister Manmohan Singh met chiefs of the army, navy and    air force to discuss "the prevailing security situation".   A travel warning was issued after "several" Indian citizens were    reported to have been arrested following recent bombings in the Pakistani    cities of Lahore and Multan.   "Indian citizens are therefore advised that it would be unsafe for them    to travel [to] or be in Pakistan," said a spokesman for the foreign    ministry in New Delhi.   The tensions with India were further stoked by Pakistan's former military    strongman Pervez Musharraf. Speaking at a wedding reception, he said: "As    long as the army is here, India dare not even look at Pakistan with a dirty    eye.   "We have the capability to defend ourselves." <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/3965105/Pakistan-deploys-20000-troops-to-India-border.html" target="_blank">telegraph</a></blockquote>
