Pakistan moves some Army from Indian Border

Pakistan Govt. agree to move some troops from indain border Under the pressure from the US. President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said Pakistan has moved some of its forces and is ready to shift some more from the Indian border to its western frontier to fight the Taliban. The US has been pressing Pakistan to step up its offensive against the Taliban but Islamabad has been reluctant to move troops from the eastern border as it considers India as its main threat. US President Barack Obama, who met Zardari in Washington, has been trying to convince Pakistan that such a belief is "misguided" and that the terrorists inside the country pose the most serious threat to its security and safety.
Asked about the perceived threat from India, Zardari said the Indian border is sometimes hot and sometimes cold. "But democracies are always trying to get friendly with each other... We are trying to improve our relationship with India, so we never talk war. Pakistan under a democratic system has never gone to war with India," he argued.
