Pak readies suicide squads to disrupt R-Day in J&K

January 21, 2003 19:45 IST

With the specific aim of disrupting Republic Day functions in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan's Special Services Group has readied terrorist suicide squads at three places along the International Border, official sources on Wednesday said.

These include suicide squads of Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashker-e-Tayiba and Al-Badr, they said.

The militants have been instructed to carry out suicide attacks at Republic Day venues, on certain ministers and religious places on or before January 26, the sources said.

These groups of militants, called the 'Sabotage Force', are being directly commanded by Pakistan's SSG.

Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence has also re-activated launching pads and training camps along the border opposite to R S Pura, Ramgarh, and Hiranagar sub-sectors of Jammu-Kathua belt during the last one month, the sources said.
