20 year old network of Jaish and Lashkar active in Jammu In Jammu region, the local network of pro-Pakistan terrorist organizations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was strictly deactivated by the Army 20 years ago, has become active again with full force. Earlier these people used to carry the luggage of terrorists, now they are providing them arms, ammunition and food and drinks in the villages itself.
The 25 suspects who were detained recently have given clues during interrogation. This network has been established in nine out of 10 districts of Jammu, Rajouri, Poonch, Reasi, Udhampur, Kathua, Doda, Kishtwar, Jammu and Ramban.
