JABA, PAKISTAN ¨C The only confirmed victim of India¡¯s airstrike against Pakistan is still unsure why he was shaken awake in the early hours of Tuesday by an explosion that rocked his mud-brick house and left him with a cut above his right eye.
¡°They say they wanted to hit some terrorists. What terrorists can you see here?¡± said 62-year-old Nooran Shah, a resident of the village of Jaba, near the northeastern town of Balakot in Pakistan¡¯s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. ¡°We are here. Are we terrorists?¡±
India says Tuesday¡¯s raid destroyed a major training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a militant group that claimed responsibility for a Feb. 14 attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 40 members of a paramilitary police unit.
