Despite the great restraint shown by India after the Mumbai attacks by Pakistan-based militants, New Delhi could easily lose patience if there were a repeat attack, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Wednesday.
"I think it's not unreasonable to assume Indian patience would be limited were there to be further attacks, Gates told reporters on a trip to New Delhi."
Gates' comments highlight widespread fears among many diplomats that a second attack could provoke India to retaliate against Pakistan, further destabilising the region and putting US plans for peace in Pakistan and Afghanistan in jeopardy.
Gates said that terror groups working together around the Afghanistan-Pakistan border benefit from each other's success and pose a threat to the entire region.
He listed several terror groups that are operating under the umbrella of al-Qaeda, including LeT, blamed for last year's deadly attack in Mumbai, and the Taliban.
