Srinagar:
The Pakistani terrorists, who was arrested during the Gurez (Jammu and Kashmir) encounter in March, revealed in a press conference held by the Army in Srinagar that 121 Pakistani infiltrators have entered India crossing the LoC.
The Army however said that only 31 of them were terrorists, the rest, the army claims were porters and guides who have gone back to Pakistan.
The terrorist, Syed Moinullah, said that he is from Deer district in the North West Frontier Province and had crossed over with a group of terrorists drawn from four organisations, including the LeT and the Jaish.
He also revealed that nine of the terrorists were killed but the rest are roaming free. This confirms the NDTV report earlier this week that more than a hundred terrorists had infiltrated into India in the Gurez sector.
Infiltration by Pakistani terrorists along the LoC and international border has been on the rise in the last couple of months.
In perhaps one of the biggest arms hauls in Jammu and Kashmir in recent times, the Army has recovered a huge quantity of explosives, arms and ammunition from the Shamshabari Range of Gurez Sector.
The haul includes 32 kg of RDX, many AK-47s rifles and grenade launchers among others.
The arrested militant spoke about the operation at the press conference.
"We were sent so commanders here could use us for operations. I was caught when I was trying to return to Pakistan," he said.
He also said that militants who operate in India have nothing to do with Taliban.
