In Kashmir, Musharraf was slower to act but has bowed to international pressure to prevent militants infiltrating from Pakistan into Indian-held territory across the mountainous Line of Control that divides the bloodied Himalayan region.
Pakistan has always denied giving military aid to the rebels, but has said it supports their struggle against Indian rule with diplomatic and political support.
India charges a much deeper involvement, but even its politicians acknowledge infiltration is down, helping improve ties. The two nations agreed earlier this month to start comprehensive peace talks, including discussions on the future of Kashmir.
