New Delhi: India on Thursday said the Udhampur terror attack that led to the dramatic capture of a Pakistani terrorist was aimed at derailing peace in Jammu and Kashmir. Islamabad meanwhile denied that the young guerrilla in Indian custody was a Pakistani.

And in a familiar repeat of the arguments advanced after Pakistani terrorists caused mayhem in Mumbai in 2008, Islamabad sought proof from New Delhi for the captured terrorist's Pakistani link. "We strongly condemn the attack and the persistent attempts by terrorists from across the border to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir," Home Minister Rajnath Singh told parliament.
