IS may join hands with LeT to launch attacks in India: Army 11/19/2015 10:51:06 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Nov 19: A top Army commander today said there was a "possibility" that global terror outfit Islamic State (IS) may join hands with Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba to launch attacks in India. "Yes, that (IS joining hands with LeT to launch attacks in India) can be a possibility as the motive of the terrorists is to spread their propaganda. "They want their name and for that, they can do anything. And if they get successful, they can take advantage of it by using any name. Yes it is a possibility," General Officer Commanding of the 16 corps of the army Lt Gen RR Nimbhorkar told reporters here today. He was replying to a question whether IS can join hands with other terrorists outfits like LeT to launch Paris-type attacks in India. Lt Gen RR Nimbhorkar also said there are around 700 active militants in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (POK) who on a question about the number of terrorist training camps active across the Line of Control in the POK, he said that from the inputs that the captured terrorist Navid has given there are around 37 active camps in that region. "See, there are a number of launching pads and we are all aware of it as it is in the open domain. So, therefore, I will not exactly say as to how many are there," he said. The army commander said,"There are sufficient number of launching pads and if you calculate that way... take the statement which is given by terrorist captured in Udhampur attack so you can easily co-relate what he said and calculate... "So to my mind in the entire POK there may be about 600-700 terrorists." He said that out of the 700 militants present in the POK, half of them are ready and waiting for a chance to infiltrate into the Indian side. "Out of them, half are ready to be launched so they can come in the launch pad and get launched," he said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
