Jammu: Militants are using Global Positioning
System for cross-border infiltration and locating safe routes
in Jammu and Kashmir, police said here after a high-end GPS
was found from Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) militants Saturday.
"Militants are using GPS for finding infiltration
routes and tracks for movement within J&K. The satellite based
navigation system is being used by militants as a guide in
mountainous terrain," Superintendent of Police (SP), Noushera,
R K Bhat said.
A Taiwan-made `Garmin GPS` was seized from two LeT
militants who had recently infiltrated from across Line of
Control (LoC) and were killed in Dharamshal area of Rajouri
district today, the SP said.
As the infiltrating militants are increasingly
finding it difficult to get guides to help them move from one
area to another, they are now using this GPS system, he said.
Pointing that Pakistan is continuing to aide and abet
the infiltrating militants, he said police recovered "two
Nokia mobile sets with two simcards of mobile companies of
Pakistan, 2 GB MP player" besides other goods made in that
country.
The two militants had infiltrated from Pakistan along
a group of six to seven militants some days ago in Akhnoor
belt.
