"New Delhi: Terrorism will figure strongly at this week's summit of
eight South Asian nations, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and
Afghanistan, an Indian official said yesterday.

After a preparatory meeting of top foreign ministry officials from the
region, India's Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon said they would
recommend "a very strong statement against terrorism" to the
summit which will be held in India on April 3-4.

"The issue affects most countries in the South Asia Association for
Regional Cooperation, or Saarc," Menon said.

India and Sri Lanka have been battling armed insurgencies for decades,
while officials in Afghanistan have repeatedly said Taliban leaders are
orchestrating attacks in Afghanistan from Pakistani territory, a charge
Pakistan denies."

Will south Asia (esp ex-British India) re-coallesce?
