India Army Chief Threatens Pakistan Over Kashmir Killings -- Reuters
(Reuters) - India's army chief threatened to retaliate against Pakistan for the killing of two soldiers in fighting near the border of the disputed region of Kashmir, saying he had asked his commanders there to be aggressive in the face of provocation.
General Bikram Singh's remarks come amid mounting public anger in India after Delhi accused Pakistani soldiers of slitting the throat of one of the soldiers and decapitating him.
Despite each side blaming the other for the worst outbreak of violence in the area since a ceasefire was agreed nine years ago, analysts said a breakdown in ties was highly unlikely.

My Comment: These attacks are not minor skirmishes .... they are all out engagements on some parts of the border (see above video). This can quickly get out of control.
