ISI & Babbar Khalsa planning terror strikes in Punjab: IB‏

Pakistan's secret intelligence wing Inter-Services Intelligence
(ISI) is reportedly planning a second coming in the Indian state of
Punjab alongwith Babbar Khalsa and Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) to
resurrect terrorism in the state. Zee News got hold of the Intelligence
Bureau's report, which revealed these startling facts.

According to IB report, ISI had been looking to rebuild their network in
the state and now they are trying to instigate Punjab's unemployed
youth. ISI is planning to target sensitive areas like religious places
as well as the VVIP areas in the state, said the report, adding the
firearms and ammunitions seized in the state hints that terrorists'
are planning an attack.

Following the report, Punjab's security agencies have been alerted
and religious places in Punjab as well as along Pakistan-Punjab border
have been put on alert.

ISI has been looking for opportunities to rebuild their force in Punjab
and they are getting support from Babbar Khalsa and KCF to rebuild their
network. The blast in Shingar cinema hall in Ludhiana is also stated to
be the handiwork of these groups.

The instability in Pakistan is also helping ISI in its network
rebuilding process as the Indo-Pak peace dialogue has taken a back seat.

The report further reveals that ISI had conspired to disrupt peace in
Punjab during the Dera-Sikh tension and this time round they are trying
to lure youth into their operations. For that ISI Brigadier has been in
touch with Babbar Khalsa and Pakistan based KCF. Reportedly, heads of
Babbar Khalsa and KCF held secret meetings recently to decide upon their
operations.

KCF which was responsible for the Khalistan movement is calling upon
their former members who had surrendered and those based in Canada and
other nations. Besides that their sleeper cells in Punjab have also
started to rebuild their network in the state, said the report.

ISI has rebuilt Khalistan Army who are ready to strike Punjab, hidden in
underground bonkers alongside the border they are planning to intrude
into India. The recent bomb blasts have been an attempt to distract
security forces and allow the cadres of Khalistan Army to cross the
border but the BSF have foiled their infiltration bids.

But with Pak Army's support these terrorists are now planning to use
the river routes to enter into the Indian Territory. Terrorists are
reported to be hiding in Ayantpur, Kanganwadi and Karwal areas, and
their aim is to trigger off communal violence in the state.

Speaking exclusively to Zee News, former Punjab DGP KPS Gill said,
"ISI is responsible for terrorism in Punjab as well as in India. In
1993, terrorism was uprooted from Punjab but in the last 15 years the
state government has done nothing to curb spreading of terrorism in the
state. Illiteracy, unemployment, poverty and corruption is driving youth
towards terrorism."
