NEW DELHI, March 30: Pakistan-based terror camps continue to worry India’s security establishment, which feels that ISI-sponsored outfits like Jaish-i-Mohammed, Lashkar-i-Taiba and Al-Badr are responsible for carrying out attacks in different parts of the country, India’s home ministry has claimed in a report.

“Terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK remains largely intact and continues to be used by Pak-based and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-sponsored outfits like Jaish-i-Mohammed, Lashkar-i-Taiba and Al Badr for carrying out acts of terror in different parts of the country,” Zeenews said on Sunday quoting the report.

It follows comments last week by India’s National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan who said one of the greatest dangers India faced was terror camps being run on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border by the Al Qaeda and the Taliban, Zeenews said.

According to the latest Status Paper on Internal Security, brought out by the ministry, these groups are “well organised, interlinked, and have the latest hardware and communication equipment”.

The “current strategy” of terrorist groups is to recruit and train local modules and activate them when required, maintain flow of finances to sustain terror network and supply hardware through land and sea routes.

Their strategy is also to target vital installations, economic infrastructure, VIPs and political leaders, attack soft targets like market places, mass transit system, places of worship and congregations, and also provoke communal tension to create a wedge between communities, the news channel said.
