NEW DELHI, Aug 29: Terror groups backed by Pakistan’s ISI spy agency could use chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological weapons against India, initiating a form of “super terrorism”, India’s Home Ministry was quoted on Friday as saying.

The ministry said in a report that with ISI spreading its networks in the country from Jammu and Kashmir to down South, active terror modules are mushrooming in Bihar, Assam and West Bengal where the sleeper cells have been assigned with specific targets.

The report said “super terrorism in this perspective can be defined as projected future use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorist groups”.

The report said Indo-Nepal border in Bihar is being used for smuggling of arms, explosives, fake currency into the country, while the agency was focusing on Uttar Pradesh to fund madressahs and recruit youngsters for subversive activities.

South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths.

The report also mentions that ISI is trying to revive militancy in Punjab and was seeking to form new anti-India groups in the state.

While Maharashtra has been a victim of underworld gangs with strong links to the ISI, the report mentions that the Pakistan agency was also trying to use the underworld in Gujarat, using the coastal line for transporting arms and drug running operations.

The report also says that various insurgent groups active in Bangladesh are under the shadow control of ISI.

Terrorist may use aircraft, buses or other means which are commonly available to cause heavy casualties without having to go through the “rigorous” process of acquisition of technological capabilities as envisaged for the use of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, the report warns.
