Intel agencies warn of suicide bombers in India

9 JeM terrorists have sneaked in to bolster outfit’s ops in J&K

Pakistani terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) recently infiltrated two groups of highly trained suicide attackers into India, Intelligence agencies have warned.

While one group sneaked in from Shakargarh area of Pakistan (bordering Indian Punjab), the other group came in from Pak Poonch area along Jammu

According to the input, the JeM has infiltrated nine terrorists who are “well-trained” and have been sent to bolster the outfit’s terror operations in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K).

Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are believed to have plotted the infiltration with inputs suggesting that 3,000 Afghan SIMs have been activated in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Intelligence agencies have noticed attempts by Pakistan-based groups to rope in Afghan mujahideen to ramp up terror attacks in the Valley.

JeM boss Maulana Masood Azhar and Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) chief Hafiz Sayeed have been frequenting Afghanistan to liaise with the ISI-propped Haqqani Network and also to strengthen Jaish bases in Helmand and Kandahar, experts tracking terror networks in the region said.

The ISI has plans to temporarily shift some of its terror sanctuaries from its home bases in Pakistan amid scrutiny from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The shifting is aimed at providing safe havens to global terror masterminds like Sayeed and Azhar, who are on the radar of global agencies.  By shifting them, Pakistan obviously wants to shed its image as a terror-sponsor and avail of international financing to bring its shattered economy on the growth tracks, they said.

The ISI is also working on using the terror proxies like JeM and LeT networks to counter-balance the Taliban regime from acting independently.
