"As many as 12 training camps of militants belonging to the Hizb-ul-mujahideen, Harkat-ul-mujahideen, Harkat-ul-jehadi Islami, Tekreek-e-jehadi Islami, Muslim Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Mohammad were shut down after the attacks in the US," sources said in Jammu.
While all the camps in PoK have been closed 'temporarily' and militants dispersed to different places, militants in FATA camps and on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border belt have shifted to Afghanistan, the sources said.
Most of the mercenaries, particularly from Afghanistan, have also shifted to Kabul to fight on the Taleban side in case of US attacks.
The sources said the pro-Pakistan Lashkar-e-Tayiba has sent over 500 well-trained militants to Jalalabad to help the Taleban, the sources added.
Not only this, militants currently active in Jammu and Kashmir have been asked to 'lie low' by their handlers in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the sources said, adding that several instructions of such nature have been intercepted by security forces in Doda, Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu region.
The intercepts of conversations by cross-border militants revealed that Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence has directed militant leaders to stop their activities in J&K for the time being, they added.
Militants from across the border, as per intercepts, have also asked militants in J&K to be prepared and recruit boys to fight against America in case of an attack on Afghanistan.
