When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh acted tough with Pakistan
President Asif Ali Zardari in the full glare of television
cameras this
week, he had solid reason to do so. There are still 42
terror-training camps directed against India alive and kicking
in Pakistan and PoK.
The latest assessment of Multi-Agency Centre (MAC), the nodal agency for all terror-related intelligence under the home ministry, holds there are 34 `active’ and eight `holding’ camps operational across the border.
Both Pakistan/Northern Areas and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have 17 `active’ and four `holding or dormant’ camps each, says the MAC assessment, based on inputs from Research and Analysis Wing, Intelligence Bureau, Military Intelligence and National Technical Research Organisation, among others.
