But who would do such a thing? Well..who benefits in the short and long term? To answer that lets look at the results it had. Azad kashmir was depopulated somewhat. The paki govt lost a lot of money and couldnt buy shiny weapons that were about to be delivered very soon. The CIA had the means and the tools, but why would they do it? No short term benefit at this time. Maybe if they did it around Tehran it might make sense but not Kashmir. Russia has the tools but damn...if they did it 15 years ago it woulda made sense but maybe this could be a late act of revenge? Uhmm I dunno. Mossad has the tools and the will but why would they care about the back woods of central asia? Raw? Hmmm? RAW! This thins down the azad kashmiris and might even encourage a revolt from that area against the federal pakistan govt. Also it puts a big dent in the paki govt budget, diverting funds from defence purchases. Does raw have the tools? Yeah of course...and its nearby as well."
