Kathmandu - A WikiLeaks release of US diplomatic cables claimed 16 terrorists entered India via Nepal in 2009, local media reported Saturday.
According to the freshly released information sent by the US Embassy in New Delhi to the US State Department, Indian Army Chief Deepak Kapoor made the claim during a meeting with US National Security Advisor James Jones in June 2009, Nepal News portal said.
"At least 16 terrorists this year entered India through Nepal and then traveled to Kashmir," Kapoor is quoted as saying, citing the porous border between Nepal and India as a challenge.
Relations between Nepal and its southern neighbor India were strained last month following allegations from the Indian government that international terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba and Nepalese Maoists were training Indian insurgents in Nepal.
The Maoists said they were not involved in any such activity, although they supported the Indian Maoist movement, morally. Nepal government launched an investigation into the issue and defended the allegation as "baseless".
India is facing a violent secessionist movement in the part of Kashmir it administers.
