386 terrorists waiting to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists trained to use advanced American, Chinese weapons. Indian security forces won't spare a single one: Defence expert PK Sehgal
A Special Operation Team (SOT) comprising 386 terrorists trained by the Pakistani Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is waiting to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir.
According to exclusive documents accessed by India Today, the terrorists are stationed at 13 launch pads in PoK.
The decision to train, equip and infiltrate the terrorists was taken recently at a meeting between the top brass of the Pakistan Army and the ISI, according to intelligence sources.
India Today possesses documents showing the location of the launch pads: Kel, Sardi, Dudhnial, Athmuqam, Jura, Lipa, Pachhiban, Forward Kahuta, Kotli, Khuiratta, Mandhar, Nikail, Chamankot and Jankote.
Indian security agencies have complete information about the number of terrorists stationed in each launch pad. Seventy-seven terrorists are waiting to infiltrate via Bhimbergali, 36 Keran, 35 Poonch, 34 Krishna Ghati, 33 each via Machil sector and Tangdhar, 32 Uri, 27 Naushera, 26 Rampur, 18 Naugam, 9 Gurez, 8 each via Hiranagar and Mendhar, and 5 each through Sunderbani and Samba.
Our security forces will use every means to foil Pakistan's plan. Pakistan will never succeed in its nefarious designs. - Hansraj Ahir, Minister of State for Home Affairs
The terrorists, who have been trained to use advanced American and Chinese weapons, were also provided with the know-how to use an electronic surveillance system and GPS by IT experts of the Pakistani Army.
LeT, JeM ASKED TO TARGET INDIAN SECURITY FORCES
The ISI has also instructed the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) to target the Indian Army, the CRPF and the Jammu and Kashmir Police (which killed more than 215 terrorists in the state in joint operations last year) in Pulwama, Shopian and Kupwara, according to security agencies. Both LeT and JeM have been instructed to kill at least 20 security personnel.
The government and defence experts said that Islamabad's attempt to infiltrate terrorists via PoK would be foiled. Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Ahir told India Today that security forces would give a befitting reply to the terrorists. "Our security forces will use every means to foil Pakistan's plan. Pakistan will never succeed in its nefarious designs," he said.
According to defence expert PK Sehgal, India, which is militarily superior, should not worry at all. "Whether there are 386 or 3,086 terrorists waiting to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir, Indian security forces will not spare a single one."
Sehgal added that the "Pakistan is isolated" and the international community is with India. "India will not wait for them to attack. India has the right to destroy all terrorists training camps and launch pads," he said.
