SRINAGAR : Two Kashmiri youth arrested for receiving arms training at a Lashkar-e-Taiba camp in Islamabad had crossed the border on valid Pakistani visas, SP Vaid, the Jammu and Kashmir police chief said today. The two had crossed over through the Wagah border in Punjab.
"Those imparting training are in collusion with those giving visas," Mr Vaid said in a sharp attack at the Pakistan High Commission.
They were arrested in a joint operation by the police, army and central forces before they could join the ranks of the terror group. The two were identified by the Kashmir police as Abdul Majeed Bhat and Mohammad Ashraf Mir. They are from two towns of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, Kreeri and Pattan.
Mr Vaid said the two men had detailed how training was being imparted at these terror camps.
During questioning, the two men told the police that they were located at a camp in Islamabad. A large number of other inmates at the camp were Pakistani teens, most of them from the restive Balochistan province. Some of the boys roped in for training were as young as 10 years old.
