Pakistan could become 'failed state' - India

India’s home minister said Pakistan could become a failed state and raised doubts about who was in control of the nuclear-armed country, a news report said today.

Home minister Palaniappan Chidambaram’s comments came days after a daring attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore. Heavily armed gunmen killed six police and a driver and wounded several players on Tuesday before fleeing unscathed.
