Jihadists Attack India Air Force Base

An air force base near the border with Pakistan was attacked by gunmen. Reuters reported on the assault by jihadists, the first major attack in India in several years. Two of the attackers were killed, as well as at least one Indian military member. Fortunately, it appears that cross-border relations will weather this attack.

"The moment that Modi touched down in Lahore (and probably even before), something like this was doomed to happen," said Michael Kugelman, a South Asia expert at the Wilson Center think tank in Washington.
