Jaish planning ‘spectacular’ strike in Kashmir warns IB

While one batch of them has been killed in the two counters, the other lot continue to remain at large. They are still around the Srinagar area and are planning another strike.

The Intelligence Bureau has warned of more high-profile attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. There is a sense of desperation and urgency among the terror groups which will lead them to strike big, the IB has also warned.

The IB says that terrorists of the Jaish-e-Mohammad are likely to carry out more strikes similar to the one on the BSF camp last week. They will look to carry out a spectacular attack on security installations, the IB has also warned.

Meanwhile a massive manhunt has been launched to trace down 6 Jaish terrorists. A batch of 10 had infiltrated into the Valley in August. Out of these two batches were dispatched to carry out attacks on the District Police Lines at Pulwama and BSF camp in Srinagar. The remaining six are absconding and are likely to carry out a big strike, the IB has also warned.

According to intelligence inputs, two of those who had infiltrated were part of the District Police Lines attack at Pulwama while the others are still at large. A massive manhunt has been launched for the remaining terrorists who according to the Intelligence Bureau are planning another major strike.

Sources say that the terrorists of the Jaish-e-Mohammad had infiltrated through the Poonch sector in August. For a month they conducted a reconnaissance of the BSF camp. The target was the camp and not the airport, sources also revealed.

While one batch of them has been killed in the two counters, the other lot continue to remain at large. They are still around the Srinagar area and are planning another strike.

All the terrorists were part of the Afzal Guru squad of the Jaish-e-Mohammad. The squad was launched by the outfit chief, Maulana Masood Azhar who is the mastermind of these attacks.
