Intel warns of possible Pakistani BAT "action" on Indian security forces

Security forces at India-Pakistan border have been put on high alert following intelligence report that terrorists are trying to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir to carry out `action`.

''There is likely presence of armed terrorists in Bhimber Gali and Naushera sectors with an intention to infiltrate to carry out BAT (Border Action Team) action,'' according to the report.

The input has been shared with forces and Border Security Force (BSF) to keep a close watch on activities in these areas, according to news agency ANI.

Forces suspect that the BAT of Pakistan Army is facilitating terrorists to carry out action soon. Pakistan`s BAT consists of its army commandos and terrorists belonging to various terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba etc. BAT has started targeting civilians as well.

In January, the group killed a civilian identified as Mohammad Aslam whose headless and mutilated body was found near the LoC in Poonch district.

Last week, the Indian Army on the basis of specific intelligence inputs from Jammu and Kashmir Police, in a joint operation, eliminated a terrorist close to the LoC in Keri area of Bhimber Gali sector in Jammu division`s Rajouri district.

Earlier today, two terrorists were killed in an ambush by the Indian Army at Nougam sector in north Kashmir along the LoC. The Army recovered arms and ammunition, along with Pakistani currency.
