ISI Reduces Local Recruitment in J&K
The ISI, which is Pakistan's intelligence agency, has decided to use fewer local people from Jammu and Kashmir for terrorist activities.
Instead, they are sending more terrorists from Pakistan.
The ISI thinks that Pakistani terrorists can stay hidden for longer periods and carry out attacks more effectively.
They also believe that locals are easier to catch and might give away important information.
To make it harder for India to blame Pakistan, the ISI has created fake groups with secular names that take responsibility for attacks on the internet.
These groups help to create confusion and provide a cover for the real terrorist organizations.
The ISI is also using local youth as over ground workers to provide support and shelter to the Pakistani terrorists, as they know the area well and can help without knowing too much about the operations.
ISI has reduced local recruitment in Jammu and Kashmir for terror activities.
Pakistani terrorists are preferred for long-haul operations due to their sustainability.
Locals are considered vulnerable and likely to be caught or give away information.
Fake groups with secular names are created to claim responsibility for attacks, providing deniability to Pakistan.
Local youth are used as over ground workers to provide logistics and shelter to Pakistani terrorists.
