Top NIA officials briefed the team about the terror attack in which seven security personnel were killed. At least four terrorists believed to be from Pak-based Jaish-e-Mohammed were killed by security forces.
The team that arrived in Amritsar in the morning from Delhi in a special plane was taken to Pathankot by road to avoid giving it an aerial view of the strategic base. The 118 KM journey was covered by the team which was ferried in six bullet proof vehicles.
Most of the base was completely covered with white curtains to prevent a view of the valuable defence assets.
Congress and AAP have accused the government of giving unfettered access to a probe team from Pakistan that also dilutes India's stand that terrorism is sponsored from across the border.
The Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT) entered the base through a specially-created entrance at the perimeter wall, which was breached by the terrorists on the fateful night.
