Terrorists moved ahead of Imran Khan's US visit back at LoC

Srinagar : Intelligence report and satellite images have confirmed that the launch pads and terrorists which were moved out ahead of Imran Khan's US visit have been moved back at the Line of Control.

“For several days, we got reports saying there are no terrorists at the launch pads waiting to infiltrate into India. It was very surprising because the period between May and October is when infiltration bids are made,” a senior army officer who has seen the intelligence reports said on condition of anonymity.

Imran Khan had met the US President Donald Trump on July 22.

According to fresh intelligence report in Hindustan Times, 200 to 250 terrorists are back at the launch pads waiting to infiltrate into India.

The ceasefire violation in the Valley’s Gurez sector on Tuesday was an infiltration attempt, the army officer confirmed. “We could see two bodies (of terrorists) lying (there) ,” he said.

An intelligence official confirmed that the launch pads were vacated and the terrorists shifted to villages close to the line of control for the duration of about two weeks. “The border has become active again and we are expecting more ceasefire violations,” this person added on condition of anonymity.
