| A case of legal "infiltration": Youth go to Pak on regular visa, return after militant training | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Oct 10: A new issue of legal "infiltration" has started bothering security forces in the militancy-torn Jammu and Kashmir. As reports emerge, youth are visiting Pakistan on regular visas which are extended to facilitate their basic training in handling explosives and weapons.
The matter came to the fore when police apprehended a youth from Budgam who had ostensibly gone across the border to meet relatives and later extended the visa by another two weeks during which he underwent the "daura-e-aam" (basic) training course of
Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfit.
During interrogation, the youth, whose identity was kept a secret, told police that there were other youth who were using the same modus operandi to undergo militant training.
In the first week, a complete religious course is imparted after which assembling of assault rifles and detonating of grenades are taught.
A senior officer said LeT adopted this method and had been targeting educated unemployed youth in Kashmir. "We have approached the immigration officials to keep a close tab on youth who extended their visas in Pakistan and the Gulf," he added.
There have also been mushrooming of placement agencies who offer to take youth to the Gulf for better prospects and later they are taken to Pakistan on different passports where they undergo training modules like "daura-e-aam" and "daura-e-khas", in which the recruits are trained in making improvised explosives devices and carrying out sabotage.
The recruits are then shipped back to Gulf countries from where they travel back to India and resume their normal work and wait for orders from across the border. "They do not come with any arms or explosives but the same are provided by the terror outfit through
cross-LoC smuggling and infiltration," the officer said.A huge dump of arms and ammunition was also recovered in Budgam which was actually meant for such recruits. "After committing heinous crimes, these youths generally mix with the crowd," the officer added.During this year, already over a dozen cases have been detected
during which it has been found that Nasir Safi Mir, an absconder and considered to be the financial brain behind moderate Hurriyat Conference, had also been involved in shipment of some youths, official sources said.
