PAKISTAN: Reports of Mutilated Bodies Disturbing, Says US Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit June 13 from Dr. Jai Maharaj REPORTS OF MUTILATED BODIES DISTURBING: U.S. By Sridhar Krishnaswami The Hindu http://www.hinduonline.com/ Sunday, June 13, 1999 Washington, June 12 - The Clinton Administration has said that reports of Pakistan handing over six mutilated bodies of Indian soldiers are "disturbing" and it is seeking more information. At the State Department, the Spokesman, Mr. James Foley, was replying to a question if the United States was trying to get India and Pakistan together as things were getting "nastier". "Indian air and ground attacks continue in the Kargil area of Kashmir against infiltrators from Pakistan... We are aware of ...press reports that indicate Pakistan has turned over six mutilated bodies of Indian soldiers. We find these reports disturbing and we are seeking more information. I would note that Pakistan has denied these reports. We don't, for our part, have independent information on the reports and, therefore, can offer no judgment", Mr. Foley responded. The spokesman went on to say that the incident underscored the urgency of the need for India and Pakistan to speak directly with each other about the current hostilities in Kashmir. "The United States strongly supports talks between India and Pakistan to resolve this latest dispute. We remain in contact with both Indian and Pakistani governments to express our strong concern, to urge them to show restraint and to respect the line of control that they agreed to over 25 years ago. We also urge them to prevent the fighting from spreading beyond the Kargil sector, and to work together to reduce tensions", Mr. Foley remarked. Not for commercial use.
