| J&K: Cell phones, chemical agents latest threats | | |
Jammu, Oct 11 Be aware of cell phones fitted with guns, remote-controlled bombs and chemical and biological agents.
This is the latest warning intelligence agencies issued to security agencies operating against militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Security agencies have warned troops operating in the state and other insurgency-hit areas to make themselves aware about the threat of cell phone guns and mobile phone bombs and they have been provided directions to use Anti-Sabotage Check and Access Control, x-ray, and Restriction-Based Mobile Use (RBMU) to counter the threat, a top army official told PTI.
Cell phone guns resemble regular mobile phones in size, shape and appearence. But beneath the digital face lies a 0.22 caliber pistol capable of firing four rounds in quick succession by pressing buttons in keypad, the official said.
Remote controlled cell phone bombs were also used by terrorists in Indonesia's Bali to trigger blasts which killed 202 people, car bomb explosion at Marriott hotel in Jakarta, and Madrid train serial blasts that killed 191 persons.
Giving details about the remote-controlled cell phone bombs, army officials said new generation mobile phones are very thin and weigh only about 200 grams. |
