'We should not just react when a terror attack happens on our soil.' 'Our approach should be continuous and a launch pad should be destroyed the moment it comes up.'
The nine targets struck under 'Operation Sindoor', four in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, were chosen by the IAF after receiving intelligence inputs about terror camps operating under the guise of health centres to evade detection at these sites, officials said on Wednesday.
Hundreds of activists and supporters of the Jamaat-ud-Dawah terror group, linked to the Mumbai attacks, on Tuesday staged a demonstration outside the organisation's headquarters in Muridke to protest its takeover by the Pakistani authorities. Waving the Jamaat's black and white flag and carrying banners, the protestors disrupted traffic for some time on the Grant Trunk Road outside the Markaz-e-Taiba complex in Murdike, located about 30 km from the city of Lahore.
The terror attack on Mumbai last month was the first time that terrorists had used the sea route to strike at the heart of the city.Intelligence Bureau reports suggest that the terrorists received special maritime training from the Musa Company of the special services group of the Pakistan Army. Following the training imparted at the Murdike and Thakot camps of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, the terrorists were shifted to Karachi,where they received maritime training from Musa Company
