The Line of Control could turn red-hot once again. Even as disclosures by Guantanamo Bay detainees show al-Qaida had plans to bomb an Indian airliner and that Pakistan army and ISI have for long been directly involved in training and directing anti-India terrorists, Indian security forces are bracing for a “hot” summer in Kashmir and elsewhere. Intelligence inputs show over 100 terrorists waiting at “launch pads” along the LoC to infiltrate into J&K, with another 700-800 militants holed up in terrortraining camps in Pakistan. The recent ceasefire violations by Pakistan — thrice in two weeks — are seen as attempts to infiltrate terrorists into J&K. Agencies say 34 “active” and eight “holding” camps are operational across the border.
