India: Army 'Prepared' For Strikes Against Pakistan -- Adnkronos
Indian army chief General Deepak Kapoor said surgical strikes against terror targets in Pakistan were a "feasible" option after the Mumbai terror attacks.
"Surgical strikes are definitely feasible but whether you wish to take that decision or not is a separate issue," Kapoor said on Sunday.
"Whether you would like to look at doing it (carrying out such strikes) by air or artillery or by another means or physically there," he said.
He said that the armed forces were ready for such strikes if political leaders gave the order. Kapoor's comments are likely to provoke further tension between Pakistan and India.
"We are an army which has been involved in operations in Kashmir and Northern Command on a perpetual and on-going basis. Therefore, the question of not being ready is, frankly, not relevant. And we would have been fully ready to do our task," he said.
