Pakistan Feared Military Reprisal

After the terrorists responsible for the attacks in Mumbai, India were linked to Pakistan, Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hassan expected a counter strike. "This is what we were told by our friends that there could possibly be a quick strike at some of the areas they suspect to be the training camps, an air raid or something of that sort," he told BBC Newshour. "There was circumstantial evidence that India was going to make a quick strike against Pakistan to teach her a lesson," he added. "We wouldn't have gone, and I'm sure India wouldn't have gone for full-scale war."
