Islamabad, Dec. 1 : Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has appealed to India not to punish his country for last week''s attacks in Mumbai, saying militants have the power to precipitate a war in the region.
In an interview with a British newspaper, Zardari warned that provocation by rogue "non-state actors" posed the danger of a return to war between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
"Even if the militants are linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, who do you think we are fighting?" asked Zardari.
