Drones For Terror A Global "Danger": India Raises Jammu Attack At UN

VSK Kaumudi, Special Secretary (Internal Security), Ministry of Home Affairs, said utilisation of aerial/sub-surface platforms for sinister purposes by terrorist groups have become an imminent danger and challenge for security agencies worldwide.

India on Monday (local time) expressed concern at United Nations (UN) over misuse of information and communication technology for terrorist propaganda and radicalisation and called on the attention of the UN member states on the possibility of weaponised drones for terrorist purposes. Speaking at a UN high-level conference of heads of counter-terrorism agencies, VSK Kaumudi, Special Secretary (Internal Security), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), said: "Being a low-cost option and easily available, utilisation of these aerial/sub-surface platforms for sinister purposes by terrorist groups such as intelligence collection, weapon/explosives delivery and targeted attacks have become an imminent danger and challenge for security agencies worldwide." "The possibility of the use of weaponised drones for terrorist purposes against strategic and commercial assets calls for serious attention by the member states," he added. Mr Kaumudi also slammed a vitriolic diatribe by the Pakistan delegation, accusing it of "peddling false narratives and making baseless allegations against India".
