Mangalore Today News Network

Jammu, January 5, 2015: Pakistan intelligence agency Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) has been planning "Arnia-type" suicide attacks in Jammu and Kashmir and some other parts of India ahead of the visit of US President Barack Obama, sources told Headlines Today on Monday.

According to them, the ISI is taking help of Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) chief Hafiz Sayeed in planning the attacks. More than 60 LeT terrorists have been camping in Sialkot in Punjab province of Pakistan to cross over to India to carry out the attacks.

Sources said that there are at least 6 such launch pads, located opposite India’s Paharpur, Kathua, Hiranagar, Ramgarh and Samba areas.
 
 Sources said the Border Security Force (BSF) has specific intelligence inputs that Pakistan’s Chenab Rangers have been giving cover fire to these terrorists to help them cross international border under the prevailing condition of heavy fog.

Intelligence sources said LeT terrorists are trying to cross the border without guides and they have been provided with global positioning system (GPS) devices to keep their movement secret. They have been provided with new devices, called "floaters", to help them cross rivers and nallahs in Samba and Kathua districts of Jammu region, sources said.

Obama is visiting India later this month to attend the Republic Day parade as the chief guest on January 26.

Four terrorists had attacked an army camp in Arnia sector on November 27, a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the region for an election rally. Another group of six gunmen hit the army base in Uri and two others attempted to kill innocents in Soura near Srinagar.

These 12 men were suspected LeT suicide attackers, carrying out terror attacks to disrupt the five-phase Assembly polls which concluded recently.
