In Jammu and Kashmir, Terror Attacks Rise As US Pulls Out Of Afghanistan

At least 25-30 terrorists have been keeping various security forces engaged for the last one month

The ripple effect of US troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan is making itself felt in Jammu and Kashmir. Intelligence agencies say at least six groups of terrorists have infiltrated the Kashmir Valley with some high value targets on their agenda. Inputs by various agencies are now being matched by the Multi-Agency Centre. Indications are that at least 25-30 terrorists have been keeping various security forces engaged for the last one month. This number is apart from those terrorists who were already in Jammu and Kashmir, sources said. Evidence on ground shows the level of violence in Jammu and  Kashmir has gone up significantly over the last month. "Every day for last one month, either an IED attack on security forces or attacks on political leaders are being reported," a senior official told NDTV.
