The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found out that wireless systems of the same kind were used in terror attacks which took place in Kathua, Samba and Pathankot.
Besides, modus operandi of the three attacks was same, convincing the NIA not to probe the three cases separately.
In a fresh development that highlights Pakistan’s indifference towards fighting terrorism, it has been reported that terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is planning Pathankot and Gurdaspur-style fidayeen attacks in north Indian cities with the help of spy agency ISI and Indian Mujahideen.
A report submitted to the Punjab government by military intelligence mentions that terrorist sleeper cells have started a recce to replicate Pathankot and Gurdaspur attacks.
Pointing out some specific details, the report said that JeM commander Awais Mohammed, resident of Okara, is trying to enter India via Malaysia. And for this, he will use a fake Malaysian passport.
He has been tasked with monitoring the fresh strikes, it said.
It also stated that JeM is reviving its network and has opened at least three new centres in Pakistan’s Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“JeM is reviving its offices and network in Kohat and Hazara region. JeM is also reinvigorating its recruitment drive. A new training facility has also been constructed by JeM at Balakot,” the TOI report quoted intelligence report which was submitted on May 18.
It is also that JeM is running its training camps from its seminary in Bahawalpur.
Another alert issued by intelligence agencies said that Delhi Assembly could be the next target of the Pakistan-based terror group JeM, responsible for January 2 terror attack at the frontier IAF base in Pathankot.
The agencies have shared inputs with Delhi Police asking them to review the existing security apparatus at the building and other important installations in the city.
NIA sources further denied to refute that Dina Nagar attack was handiwork of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).
The NIA is collecting more information apropos of attack in Pathankot, JeM as an organisation and its role in the attack, sources further said.
The alert also said that important schools and colleges may be targeted.
