Since the terrorists have found new areas to infiltrate into the Jammu region along the International Border and Line of Control, they are now entrenched in the dense forest areas finding places in the hills to hide, the sources said.“All such terrorists hiding in Jammu forest areas are foreign nationals with training in military tactics and skills to handle and fire from sniper guns. The possibility of a few of them being former Pakistan army soldiers cannot be ruled out,” an intelligence officer said.“There are 13 small drains and 3 rivers in Jammu region. Terrorists are using these routes for infiltration, though security forces remain alert in these areas,” said an officer, adding that the new routes include Nowshera Nar, Govind Nala, Paribal Forest, Pen and Kumkari Gali. Intelligence inputs suggest there are four terrorist launch pads across the IB in Jammu and these are used by Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists.
