Lashkar attack on Modi foiled |
Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Delhi Police`s special cell sleuths are carrying out a joint operation to nab at least three to four hardcore Lashkar-e-Taiba militants, who have managed to sneak in to Jammu & Kashmir from across the border. At least four terrorists had infiltrated into the country during November 2015 and were in contact with Lashkar commander Abu Dujana for logistics and ground support. J&K police has also been roped in for the counter-terror operation and at least two of the militants have been reportedly arrested in J&K. The militants had two plans — to carry out a mass shooting in a Paris-like or 26/11 type attack at a gathering attended by Prime Minister Modi. The militant was supposed to blow himself off if he failed to penetrate Modi`s cordon, considered impregnable, or hurl a grenade at the crowd. If the strike at the gathering could not be executed, the operatives were asked to eliminate a high-value target in Delhi or J&K which could have "political and communal ramifications." The strike was to be "spectacular" as Dujana, the newly appointed Lashkar commander, wanted to make his presence felt in the country.
