US will not conduct a air strike in India, neither India conducts air strikes in its country, but see US conducts air strikes and PAF also conducts air strikes.

They are the sole super power and they restricted us from acting against you, so it becomes their responsibility to curb terrorism.

Laskar-e-Taiba commander killed in recent airstrike in Kunar

By BILL ROGGIO, July 6, 2012

The Coalition confirmed that a second leader of the Pakistan-based, al Qaeda-linked Lashkar-e-Taiba died in a recent airstrike in Kunar that also killed the terror group's leader for the eastern Afghan province.

Ammar, a "Lashkar-e-Taiba insurgent leader" was killed in the June 29 airstrike in the Watahpur district in Kunar, the International Security Assistance Force stated in a press release. Ammar was killed in the same airstrike that also killed Khatab Shafiq, a Pakistani citizen who served as Lashkar-e-Taiba's leader for Kunar province. "Several other armed insurgents" who have not been named were also killed in the same strike.

Ammar "managed a network of insurgents and directed attacks against Afghan and coalition forces throughout the province," ISAF stated. "His nationality is not confirmed at this time," ISAF's Joint Command told The Long War Journal.

Pakistan's military and its Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate support Lashkar-e-Taiba as part of Pakistan's so-called strategic depth against rival India. Lashkar-e-Taiba is thought to have a presence in several of Afghanistan's eastern provinces, including, Kunar, Nuristan, Nangarhar, Laghman, Paktia, Paktika, Khost, and Kabul, and is known to have operated training camps in Kunar and Paktia prior to the US invasion in the fall of 2001 after al Qaeda's attack on the US.

Watahpur district appears to have emerged as a key hub for al Qaeda and allied terror groups, such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba. In addition to Ammar and Shafiq, ISAF has killed two al Qaeda leaders in Watahpur in the past five weeks. On July 1, an airstrike killed Hanzallah, a Saudi national "who acted as a military advisor to insurgents in Kunar, Nuristan, and Laghman provinces and provided them with improvised explosive device training." Several other unidentified al Qaeda operatives were also said to had been killed in the strike.

Congrats to the USA and India, another evil bastard bites the dust, and who would have guess he was a Pakistani national, using Pakistan as a safe heaven. India and the USA need to really bury the hatchet of the past and move forward, India and the USA together would be a unstoppable force, I know that MOSSAD, FBI, CIA, and RAW all work every closely together and in fact a lot of MOSSAD and RAW agents train in each others countries, congrats again to India and the USA.

I didn't know LeT was operating in Afghanistan as well . So it means the insurgency in Afghanistan is not only Pashtun led but Pakistani Punjabi led as well ?
