Pakistan may well be gearing up for yet another onslaught on Indian forces deployed along the Line of Control, only this time the attack may be a lot more lethal and severe than the one seen recently in which the body of one Army soldier was badly mutilated.
Interestingly, the fresh spate of attacks may again happen in the Poonch sector, from where the previous incident was reported.
These details are in a fresh threat assessment report that the intelligence agencies gave the government on Saturday, which has been accessed by this newspaper.
After a detailed discussion on recent killings of Indian soldiers at Thursday’s meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security, a number of intelligence and security agencies were tasked to pool resources and keep a close watch on what the Pakistan Army and the ISI were up to.
The Cabinet Committee on Security was also clearly told the Poonch killings were carried out by Pakistan Army regulars and not any rogue outfit.
