New Delhi, Sept 19: The United States today said infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir has "gone up" since July end and condemned all acts of terrorism aimed at influencing the "outcome" in the assembly polls in the state. "Infiltration across the LoC was down in June and July but since the end of July it has gone up and has been up in August and in September," US Ambassador to India Robert Blackwill told a group of reporters here.
Terming the first phase of polls in j and k as "very positive", Blackwill hoped that successful conclusion of the four-phased elections in J and K would lead to resumption of the Indo-Pak dialogue within a "reasonable" time-frame.
