''Terrorists' designs exposed''

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 14. India today described the statement by the Al-Qaeda as yet another illustration of Kashmir being a target of its international terror network.

Asked to comment on Al-Qaeda's assertion that it would continue to target the West till it stopped support for ``Hindus and Muslims in Kashmir,'' a spokesperson of the Ministry of the External Affairs rejected the notion that the Jammu and Kashmir was a communal issue. ``Jammu and Kashmir is not a Hindu-Muslim issue. The issue is at the core of India's nationhood.'' A vast majority of our ``Muslim brethren in J&K are firmly opposed to terrorism``, she added.

Such statements further strengthened India's resolve and determination to resist terrorism.
