Extract: "The report on the Patterns of Global Terrorism during 2002, submitted by the Counter-Terrorism Division of the US State Department to the Congress, was released to the media on April 30, 2003, at a press conference addressed by Gen. Colin Powell, US Secretary of State, and Mr.Cofer Black. Co-ordinator for Counter-Terrorism in the State Department. [...] [While this report lists] the names of many terrorist organisations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Chechnya in Russia, Xinjiang in China and other countries and even the names of some Sikh terrorist organisations such as the Babbar Khalsa and the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF), it does not include the names of any of the indigenous Kashmiri organisations operating from Pakistani territory. [...] A careful reading of the report shows that there is nothing much to gloat about it for India. - b.raman."
