Security Forces (SFs) achieved a major success when a top terrorist, who had travelled to Pakistan on valid visa for arms training in Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) camps, surrendered before a joint team of Police and Indian Army in Jammu and Kashmir, reports DNA India on February 9. "He was motivated to join terrorist ranks and moved to Pakistan on Visa through the Wagah Border for getting weapons training", said an army spokesman at South Kashmir based Victor Force headquarters. Sources said Pakistani agencies have embarked on a new strategy to grant valid visas to gullible youth to travel to Islamabad where they are imparted terror training and sent back to replenish the terrorist cadres in Kashmir. The new strategy has been prompted after Indian army strengthened the anti infiltration grid making it difficult for the terrorists to sneak-in through the Line of Control (LoC). The youth, whose identity has not been revealed due to security reasons, was trained in handling small arms and making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The training was imparted by Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists code named Hanzallah Adnan and Malik Sahab. Two other groups comprising few youths from Kashmir code named Abu Hatf, Noor Gul and Abdullah Bhai were also involved in the training. "His decision to come back is of great significance as it sends out a clear message regarding the commitment of security forces to encourage youth to shun path of violence", said the spokesman. The surrender of Pakistan trained terrorist comes six days after Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested two terrorists who had traveled to Islamabad on a valid visa to undergo arms training in Lashkar-e-Toiba camps before returning from Wagah.
