New Delhi: In what could be a cause of concern for the US, recent media reports suggest that Pakistan has warned India of a war-like situation if tensions escalate between the two sides.

Pakistani media reports that a senior security official selectively briefed journalists on Saturday, warning that Pakistan may relocate one lakh troops from the Afghan border in north Pakistan to the Indian border if tensions erupt in the wake of the attacks in Mumbai.

This comes after India claimed that elements in Pakistan coordinated the attacks, according to media reports.

Islamabad has told NATO and the US forces that it may not be able to concentrate on war on terror due to fresh differences with India.

An official was quoted as saying, "If something happens on that front, the war on terror won't be our priority. We'll take out everything from the western border. We won't leave anything here. Next two days will prove crucial to relations."

The statement comes just hours after Pakistan's foreign minister Shah Qureshi announced that his country will cooperate with India in the investigations, including involving the ISI.

There are also reports that Pakistan's decision to not send the ISI chief to India was taken after External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee made some strong remarks against Pakistan.
