ISI raises spectre of ‘super terrorism’: India

In its section on terror groups and weapons of mass destruction, the report said “super terrorism in this perspective can be defined as projected future use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorist groups.”

The report said Indo-Nepal border in Bihar is being used for smuggling of arms, explosives, fake currency into the country, while the agency was focusing on Uttar Pradesh to fund Madrasas and recruit youngsters for subversive activities.

South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths.

The report also mentions that ISI is trying to revive Punjab militancy and form new anti-India groups in the state.

While Maharashtra has been a victim of underworld gangs which have strong links with ISI, the report mentions that the Pakistan agency was also trying to liaison with the underworld in Gujarat and are using the coastal line for transporting arms and drug running operations.

The report also says that various insurgent groups active in Bangladesh are under the shadow control of ISI and are used for pumping of fake Indian currency notes (FICN).

Terrorist may use aircraft, buses or other means which are commonly available to cause heavy casualties without having to go through the “rigorous” process of acquisition of technological capabilities as envisaged for the use of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons, it warns.

It also says technology oriented terrorists camps could use explosive laden unarmed aerial vehicles at selected high value targets.

The report says that growing detection and neutralisation of ISI cells in the last few years and their involvement in subversive activities indicate the type of serious threat that the network is going to pose to the internal security of the nation.
