Despite repeated assurances and claims by Pakistan, intelligence reports culled by Indian Army indicate that infiltration from across the Line of Control (LoC) is continuing unabated. Lt Gen Kamal Davar, heading the Defence Intelligence Agency, the coordinating agency for military intelligence, said that as per intelligence inputs, Al Qaeda elements were also involved in terrorist activities in J-K. ‘‘Terrorists don’t walk with labels but we feel that Al Qaeda is also operating in J-K,’’ he said.On Wednesday, Davar pointed out that there was no perceptible change in infiltration levels despite assurances from Pakistan and UK. Pointing out that the Army was well placed to repulse the infiltration bids, Davar said nearly 182 terrorists had been killed in the past two months. On the border with Bangladesh, he said that efforts were being made to plug infiltration attempts by ISI-backed terrorists. ‘‘We have also forwarded a list of terrorist training camps operating out of Bangladesh and we are keeping tabs on them.’’He rejected charges that there were intelligence failure in Hill Kaka, preceding Operation Sarp Vinash.
