Ten member Lashkar-e-Tayiba team set up to target Modi rallies in Gujarat

The Lashkar-e-Tayiba has set up a ten member team to carry out attacks during the Gujarat assembly election, the Intelligence Bureau has warned. The ten member team trained in Muzzafarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir is trying to enter into Gujarat through the sea.

Since the past couple of months there has been increased activity on the seas and this according to the IB is a tactic to distract. So far there have been 400 fishermen who have been arrested and over 70 boats from Pakistan seized. Pakistan is intentionally sending in so many boats so that it cause a distraction, the IB has further warned.

With the IB issuing the warning, security has been stepped up and there is a high-alert on the seas as well. The IB says that with several high-profile campaigns scheduled, terrorists would look to launch an attack.

The IB says that the Lashkar-e-Tayiba will try and send in its men through the seas like was seen in the case of the Mumbai 26/11 attack. The security personnel manning the maritime areas in Gujarat have been told to be high alert.

Terrorists may slip in as fishermen, the IB also warns. They would try and slip in following which their local contacts may try and supply the ammunition for the attack to the them, the warning further states.

The IB says that the ten member team would pair up in teams of two and try and strike at different locations. It would be similar to the 26/11 attack, the IB also says. Further a security risk has been caused following the arrest of two ISIS operatives from Gujarat. It was found during their questioning that they were planning on carrying out attacks during the elections.

The IB also warns that terrorists would look specifically to target rallies of Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath. Security needs to be at an all time high during the elections, the IB has also cautioned the security agencies.
