Empire troops based in 5 more countries
And surprisingly one of those countries, all in South Asia, is India. Ostensibly the Imperial presence is only to help combat Paki terrorism in the sub continent.
A Pentagon commander announced a few days ago that the US has special forces teams in Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka and, more significantly, India.Read on and find out what our new friends can do for us.
BBC News reports there are teams currently “deployed to help India with their counter-terrorism” operations, according to US Pacific Command Commander Admiral Robert Willard.
Willard says the US and India are working to “contain” a Pakistan-based militant group known as Lashkar-e-Taiba, that is believed to be responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
The development is not surprising. If one looks at US State Embassy cables released by WikiLeaks, there are details in the cables that show US interest in providing “assistance” to South Asian countries, like India, so that militant groups, such as LeT can be neutralized.
