Abdullah fears influx of Afghan mujahideen into J&K in summer

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has reiterated fears that Afghan mujahideen (holy warriors) might sneak into Jammu and Kashmir in the coming summer months and boost terrorist activities in the state.

"Our state is comparatively more exposed and vulnerable to the onslaught," Abdullah said at a conference organised by the Akali Dal in Jammu on Sunday.

An earlier report quoting Jammu and Kashmir police said that some wireless intercepts and confessions of arrested militants suggested the ISI was trying to push Taliban forces evacuated from Afghanistan into the state to boost militancy.

Abdulla said that despite the heavy deployment of army and paramilitary forces across the border, infiltration of trained militants is continuing unabated.

"Pakistani leaders should understand that it would be futile to patronize militants," he said.
