PAKISTANI Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi claims India and Israel had planned a deadly missile attack that could have possibly taken the countries to the “point of no return.”

Following the downing of an Indian warplane and the capture of an Indian pilot last week, French reports claim India was prepared to launch a deadly attack on Pakistan with the help of Israel.

“The armed forces were alerted … our intelligence was confirmed,” Mr Qureshi said. “Diplomatic and military contacts played a role in stopping the attack. The civilian and military leadership was also in contact [over the matter].”
