என்ன காதுகுத்தும் வேலை நடக்கிறது! பாகிஸ்தான் கராச்சியிலிருந்து படகில் சென்னை வரைக்கும் வருகிறார்களாம். ஏன் நீந்தியே வருகிறார்கள் என்றும் எழுதலாமே?
இஸ்லாமிய பயங்கரவாதிகள் எல்லோரும் பாகிஸ்தானிலிருந்துதான் வருகிறார்கள் என்று நாமெல்லாம் நம்பவேண்டும் என்று இந்திய அரசாங்கம் முயற்சி செய்கிறது என்பது மட்டும் தெரிகிறது.
Terrorists prefer the sea route into India

New Delhi: The tried and tested routes for infiltration are now no longer viable. Increased vigil by security forces is now resulting in heavy losses for terrorist organisations.
This is now forcing terror outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) to explore new routes — the most preferred being the sea route.
Earlier, terrorists would either come in from Pakistan via land through Kashmir or from Nepal into the border districts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. They would also come into West Bengal or the North East from Bangladesh.
However, now two arrested LeT terrorists have revealed the new preference for the sea route, saying that most terror outfits use it as it is a much safer option.
Says Joint Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Delhi Police, Karnail Singh, "Interrogation has revealed that in the month of November, a terrorist, Sammimullaha had recceed beaches in India to find out which was the safest beach for terrorists to land on."
According to sources in the Intelligence Bureau, terrorists start on boats from Karachi in Pakistan. From there the boat reaches Jafna in Sri Lanka, where the terrorists get their supply of arms and ammunition.
Here, they are also given a makeover so that they can blend in with local fishermen. Once the makeover is done, these terrorists head for one of the many beaches in Chennai.
When the terrorists are about to reach Chennai they contact the sleeper cell through satellite phones and with the help of the GPS system, they are able to know exactly which beach of Chennai is safe for them to land on.
A lot more people can travel in a boat and when they are disguised as local fishermen, it is extremely difficult to detect them. It's a new phenomenon," says Karnail Singh.
Indian intelligence agencies have now been put on high alert following these disclosures, but insiders reveal that a lot needs to be done before they can effectively tackle terror at sea.
