Even though Islamabad has been repeatedly denying it, the latest intelligence inputs suggest that highly trained militants belonging to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) are ready to cross the Indian border by the end of this month.
Inputs with the Central agencies reveal that the “infiltration plan” has been chalked-out following directions from the Zero-Point (ISI Headquarters in Islamabad). Inputs suggest that top commanders of LeT and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) recently held a meeting in Kotli area of Pak-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) and prepared a fresh plan of sending LeT militants into the Indian territory keeping the instructions of the top brass of the ISI in mind. There are reports that meeting was attended by senior ISI officials also, sources added.
“Available inputs suggest that a group of 15 LeT militants have arrived at the launching pad located at Kel in PoK. The group is guided by a resident of Khan Basti, Ringbala, in PoK and are likely to infiltrate into the Indian territory through Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir by the end of this month,” sources said.
Sources further said, “Another group of 14 LeT and HM militants are campaigning at Shardi launching pad in PoK. They will be guided by a Kupwara resident. This group is likely to infiltrate into Indian territory through Sonapindi next month”.
Sources further said that Pakistan-based handlers of LeT have also asked militant commanders to identify the guides, who will be of help when they undertake future infiltration bids. There are reports that Over Ground Workers (OGWs) of LeT recently contacted certain J&K-based persons for their recruitment as guides for helping out the militants, sources added.
“There are confirmed reports that Pak Army personnel have once again started providing training to the new recruits at different terror camps which are operating in PoK as well in Pakistan. Some of the terror camps of LeT, HM and Jaish-e-Mohammd (JeM) located in Muzaffarabad, Islamabad, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Gujrawalan, Lahore, Sargodha and few others places are functioning under the close supervision of the ISI”, sources revealed.
There are seven terror camps of JeM located in PoK and Pakistan are currently functioning under the supervision ISI officials. Besides, HM camp located in Garhi Haibullah, where 35 militants are being reportedly prepared to carry out terror strikes in India, is also being supervised by ISI officials regularly, sources added.
