Pakistan is waiting for an opportune time to infiltrate militants into the country and carry out suicide attack here, a senior Jammu and Kashmir official said today.
"We are getting such inputs from intelligence agencies that Pakistan is in a lookout to carry of (cross border) infiltration and to engineer a fidayeen (suicide) attack or any other type of attack here," Inspector General of Police Jammu range Danish Rana told reporters here today.
He said that police and other security agencies in the region have taken measures to foil any such attempt. "We have taken measures to foil any such attempt, we are prepared to thwart their nefarious designs," he said.
When asked to comment on the number of terrorists waiting across the border to infiltrate into the Indian side, Rana said, "At different times, intelligence agencies give different numbers based on the number of active training camps and launching pads across the border, the numbers keep on varying".
He said that the number of launching pads across the border was "fluid" as they keep on varying time to time.
"There cannot be a black and white number of launching pads, those people across the border who facilitate infiltration keep on looking for loopholes," he said.
Asked to comment on the reports that militants across the border were planning to repeat a Samba and Kathua type terrorist attacks, Rana said, "They are trying to do it and our efforts is to foil it."
On March 20, two militants dressed in army fatigue had stormed the Ram Bagh Police station in Kathua district on the Jammu Pathankot National Highway. In the ensuing gun battle two civilians and two militants were killed.
The following day, two militants tried to storm an army cantonment in the Samba district; however the army succeeded in eliminated the them before they could inflict any damage.
