ISLAMABAD, March 27: President Pervez Musharraf has condemned the cowardly and heinous act of terrorism in which 24 persons were killed on Monday in the occupied Kashmir.

The president on Wednesday said in a statement that it seemed clear that the killings had been perpetrated by elements that wished to create friction and did not want good India Pakistan relations.

He asked the Indian leadership to carefully investigate and analyse this incident to determine who these elements actually were, rather than levelling allegations.—PPI
