New Delhi :
Even as several persons debate the Pakistan boat incident, a fresh
alert stating that the Lashkar-e-Tayiba is all set to launch an attack
through the seas has been sounded.
The intelligence report states that the
naval wing of the Lashkar would try and send in armed terrorists through
the seas in a bid to attack naval stations and assets in India.
The alert is Grade A
A Grade A alert means that it is
specific and perception is extremely high. The intelligence alert states
that the Lashkar would attempt targeting naval stations and its assets.
Intelligence Bureau officials also do
not rule that the Paksitan boat which had been intercepted on December
31 2014 could have been part of this plan.
During the investigation into the
Pakistan boat incident, the agencies found that this was part of an
ongoing operation by the Lashkar which was supported by the ISI.
Pak navy could be involved
Like the 26/11 attack, this operation too has the backing of the Pakistan navy, intelligence officials also say.
During the 26/11 the Lashkar had taken
the help of several naval officers who trained the cadre who finally
carried out the 26/11 attack.
The fresh alert of the intelligence
suggests that several officials of the Pakistan navy both serving and
retired have been training Lashkar cadres stage attacks on India.
The Lashkar will stick to the sea route as it is still considered to be easier to infiltrate using this route.
