Kashmir, I think.

Good idea!  You could do a number of "deniable" missions in the same
vein.  Capturing one of the "freedom fighters" would be a major goal for
the "oppressive government"'s troops, because it might allow them to
expose the charade.  Of course, that could spark a war, so maybe some of
the government troops might not *want* to make such a
capture....different parts of the government force might thus have
different objectives.
