Frustrated by the ever-increasing pressure of security forces in Kashmir and the killing of all major commanders, terrorist outfits in the Valley are in the process of organising a major IED blast.

The Daily Guardian has accessed the report of intelligence agencies which has been sent to the Union Home Ministry. The report suggests that terrorists present in the Valley are in the process of carrying out major attacks on security forces’ “naka”, security forces’ convoys, security forces’ pickets as well as security forces’ installations. Pakistani intelligence agency ISI has instructed all terrorists to work together and has assigned different tasks to all terrorist organisations.

ISI has assigned different tasks to different terrorist outfits for the attack. Lashkar and Jaish were given the responsibility of carrying out major IED attacks, while the task of grenade attacks was given to Hizbul, TRF and Al Badr.

In this report, an alert has been issued in South Kashmir regarding four districts of Anantnag, Kulgam, Pulwama and Shopian. Special instructions were given to attack the road opening party (ROP) and naka and picket, the sudden attack on security forces would cause more damage to the security forces as well as snatch weapons from them.

According to intelligence agencies, about 45 youths have joined various terrorist groups this year, most of them joining Lashkar and Al Badr, while about 48 youths are missing. There is no concrete information about them. The security forces are investigating through various means whether they joined the terrorist organisation or not. The involvement of local youths in terrorist outfits is a matter of concern for the security agencies.

The most dangerous areas in the region are Hef Sharimal in Shopian district, Sambura, Lilahar, Pulwama town and Tral in Pulwama district. The special aspect is that Lashkar has engaged its overground workers to collect information about informer of security forces, and ensure the entire family of such people would be eliminated.

According to the information given by the intelligence agencies, Lashkar is in the process of snatching weapons by attacking the security forces, especially the Jammu and Kashmir Police, while about Srinagar, the agency said in its report that Lashkar is preparing to attack the security forces and carry out grenade attacks on picket. Terrorists are trying to snatch modern weapons from the security forces deployed in the area.

There is an intelligence report about Budgam that terrorists have prepared a plan to attack the security forces, especially the Road Opening Party (ROP).

Dangerous things have been said in the report about Pulwama. For example, the three factions of Jaish are preparing to attack the security forces through IEDs. Manzoor and Ilyas, who are the deputy commanders, have been given the responsibility of the roads on which IEDs will be installed. Pulwama-Sangam Link Road, Pulwama-Litre Link Road, and the Kakapora-Pulwama-Sopiyan Link Road, which connects to NH-44, are in the terrorists’ radar. Along with this, Hizbul and Jaish terrorists are preparing to blast IEDs from Bijbehara to Pampore and Lasipora to the Kakapora area.

Lashkar, Jaish, Hizbul and TRF are now trying to make 220 ground workers active terrorists in the Valley, out of which about 30 have become active overground terrorists. This has happened because most of the young terrorists have been killed. According to sources, the number of overground workers who are active in the Valley is as follows: 25 in Tral, 35 in Pulwama, 100 in Sopiyan and 60 in Kulgam.
