Jaish-e-Mohammed Training Underwater Terrorist Wing to Carry out Attacks: Indian Navy Chief

New Delhi, August 27, 2019:

Indian Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh on Monday cited intelligence reports to claim that terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) is training its members to carry out underwater attacks in the country.

While interacting with mediapersons in Pune, Singh said that the Indian Navy has received intelligence that the 'underwater wing' of Jaish-e-Mohammed is being trained for attacks. However, he assured that the Navy is prepared to deal with attacks.

The Navy Chief also asserted that coastal security was enhanced after the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which saw terrorists use a sea route to enter Mumbai.

The Mumbai attacks were carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists who sneaked into Mumbai by boat and launched a series of attacks that resulted in over 160 deaths on November 26, 2008.

It is to be mentioned that the JeM orchestrated the Pulwama terror attacks that killed at least 42 CRPF jawans in February.
