Pakistan Reactivates Seven Terror Launch Pads Along Line of Control

At least seven terror launch pads have been set up on the Pakistani side of Kashmir along the Line of Control (LoC), which exists as a de-facto boundary bifurcating India and Pakistan, intelligence sources are cited as saying. The terrorists, including Afghan and Pashtun mercenaries, are attempting to infiltrate Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, most of them through northern Kashmir’s Gurez sector, the sources added.

The development comes as the Paris-based terrorism finance watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is meeting this week in Bangkok. It is set to review Islamabad’s progress in meeting its anti-terror commitments. It is to make a final decision in October on whether or not to place Pakistan on the global blacklist, which could economically cripple Islamabad in terms of securing funding from abroad.
