Islamabad: The Pakistani Army and Intelligence Agency ISI are sending terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammed to Jammu and Kashmir to receive war training. This has been revealed in a recent intelligence report. Sources have said that Indian intelligence agencies have found out by analyzing data and gathering evidence that the dispute between these two terrorist organizations active in Jammu and Kashmir has increased. Not only this, in recent times, the attempts of Pakistani terrorists to infiltrate India have also increased a lot.
Pakistan pushing terrorists into India
According to NDTV report, Pakistani state elements are pushing highly trained terrorists of Jaish-e-Mohammed into India from several areas of Jammu and Kashmir. Sources have said that the latest interception of communications between key members of terrorist groups Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) indicates that differences between them have deepened over planning terrorist attacks in South Asia.
Jaish and Lashkar not working together
The report quoted a senior intelligence official as saying, "Due to differences in ideology, they do not want to work together. The Pakistani Army tried to pacify both the groups, but it failed. Instead, they are using Jaish in Jammu and Kashmir and giving them safe passage to infiltrate into India. More terrorists of Jaish have been pushed into India in the last few months." Killing of Hafiz Saeed's relative a result of internal rift
Jaish follows the Deobandi sect, a revivalist movement within Sunni Islam, while Lashkar follows the Ahl-e-Hadith, formed by 18th-century thinker Shah Waliullah Dehlavi. Intelligence officials said the recent killings in Pakistan are a result of differences between these two terrorist groups. Terror financier Qari Abdu Rehman, a relative of India's most wanted terrorist Hafiz Saeed, was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Karachi on Monday.
Terrorists leaking information to each other
Indian officials probing recent infiltration attempts in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua have identified the terrorists as belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed. "NATO weapons, including M4A1 assault rifles and Glock handguns, have been recovered from them," the senior intelligence official said in the report. In the case of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists, the weapons recovered from them were either from Pakistan's ordnance factories or made in China, sources said. Of the nearly 120 terrorists hiding in Jammu and Kashmir, 95 per cent are foreigners and all are affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed, sources said.
Advantage for India
The growing rift between these two terror groups is useful for Indian security agencies operating in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. In one recent case, information about the hideout of terrorists hiding in south Kashmir was leaked by a rival group. In another case, a man abducted by Lashkar-e-Taiba later turned out to be a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist.
