Intelligence agencies have issued a warning that the Lashkar-e-Tayiba is preparing for a series of attacks in India, utilizing local modules for execution. The outfit is specifically targeting states like Haryana, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan to establish these local modules. This strategic shift follows Operation Sindoor conducted by the Indian armed forces, which significantly impacted the Lashkar-e-Tayiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.
The primary target for the Lashkar-e-Tayiba is Delhi, aiming to make a significant impact and send a strong message to the Indian establishment. This planned attack is not only for propaganda purposes but also to seek revenge for Operation Sindoor. The outfit is modeling the upcoming attack after the Jaish-e-Mohammad inspired Faridabad module, which had planned multiple attacks in North India.
The new modules being set up by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba in North India are anticipated to be larger in scale compared to previous attempts. These modules are designed for coordinated attacks and will rely solely on local recruits without involvement from Pakistani elements within India. While the command center will be in Pakistan, the fundraising for these activities will be conducted within India, with a close eye on charity organizations being used for funding.
Intelligence agencies are closely monitoring the movement of ammonium nitrate, a key component in the planning of these attacks. The agencies are vigilant about the potential use of sympathizers in Jammu and Kashmir to facilitate communication for the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. Both the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayiba are determined to establish these homegrown modules to carry out significant attacks in India, as their infiltration attempts from Pakistan occupied Kashmir have been thwarted by increased security measures.
