Nagrota camp: Intelligence warned of attack 10 days ago
November 30, 2016 08:11
Intelligence services had been monitoring at least one Lashkar-e-Taiba cell in the Valley which had been plotting an attack on the XVI Corps headquarters in Nagrota for at least two weeks before the Tuesday attack that claimed the lives of seven Army personnel, highly placed government sources have said.
The intelligence services last warned of an imminent strike on a high-value military target in Jammu just 10 days ago, the sources said.
Though the Valley-based cell was not involved in Tuesdays attack, officials familiar with the intelligence said, the existence of the warning has raised questions on how the attackers succeeded in traversing the route to Nagrota, and what additional security measures were put in place at sensitive installations.
