Pakistan Fights Jihadists on Afghan, Iranian and Indian Borders

The recent suicide bombing at the main border crossing between India and Pakistan does not portend any new jihadist threat to either country. The Nov. 2 attack — which follows attacks in Iran by Balochistan-based Pakistani jihadists — shows that jihadists, although weakened, are launching attacks across a wide area. Striking at the jihadists on Pakistan's western border with Afghanistan is necessary but insufficient; Islamabad will have to expand its campaign against the jihadists into the Pakistani core and into regions along its borders with India and Iran.
