Pakistan forms two new terror groups with LeT to launch attacks in Jammu and Kashmir
New Delhi/IBNS: When the world is combating COVID-19 outbreak, Pakistan is plotting major terror attacks on Indian security personnel deployed in Jammu and Kashmir, media reports said.
The report revealed that Pakistan has formed two new terror groups in the Valley with the help of banned terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The newly formed group ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) and Tehreek-i-Milat-i-Islami (TMI) are covertly formed by Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, Zee News reported.
"After The Resistance Front (TRF), another new terrorist group Tehreek-i-Milat-i-Islami (TMI) has surfaced in Kashmir valley. Its ‘commander’ ‘Nayeem Firdous’ has issued an audio statement, asking all militant groups operating in Kashmir to unite. Both groups are active in social media and in whatsapp groups," a security official told Zee News.
Security agencies suspects The Resistance Front (TRF) also called ‘JK Fighters’ is a wing of Lashkar-e Taiba but there is no clarity on TMI yet, reported the Indian news channel.
In an audio statement TRF Commander Abu Anas can be heard inciting the Muslims to join jihad against India and also warns for the consequences for them who will support India, Zee News reported.
In the audio statement, the TRF Commander could be heard asking the Abdullah family to abandon Indian side and support Kashmiris.
In another video, operation chief commander of Tehrik Milat Islam (TMI) Naeem Firdous can be heard asking all terrorist groups operating in Kashmir to unite, reported Zee News.
Sources told Zee News that newly formed groups are eyeing to recruits locals, so that no one can blame Pakistan after the terrorist attack.
‘‘Pakistan is trying to portray that there has been indigenous reaction in Kashmir due to removal of article 370. So they are promoting these two dummy outfits,’’ said another official to the news channel.
Security agencies input suggests around 430-450 trained terrorists are ready to infiltrate in to Kashmir out of which around 350 are Pakistanis, reported Zee News.
Arrested terrorists identified as Ahtisham Farooq Malik, Shafqat Ali Tagoo, Musaib Hassan Bhat and Nisar Ahmad Ganai reveled that they were working under one Pakistan-based person known by the name “Andrew Jones” on Telegram Messenger and the Whats App ID of this man is “Khan Bilal”, who is operating a newly formed terrorist organization known by the name “TRF/JK Fighters”, reported the news channel.
They even revealed that they were given the task of recruiting local youths for terrorist activities in Kashmir Valley particularly in North Kashmir.
They were even reportedly instigating local youths to join terrorist ranks.
Ceasefire by Pakistan:
Three civilians, including a woman and child, were killed on Sunday when Pakistani troops violated ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked heavy shelling and firing from across the Line of Control (LoC) in frontier Kashmir district of Kupwara.
A defence ministry spokesperson said Pakistani troops, violating the 2003 ceasefire, fired mortar shells at around 1700 hrs today, targeting forward posts and civilian areas.
He said three people, including a woman and baby, were killed when a mortar shell fired by Pakistani troops exploded in a civilian area in Kupwara.
The Indian troops also retaliated and the exchange of fire lasted for about an hour. However, sources said there was no report of any causality or damage to property from this side of LoC.
