In a surprising move, the Pakistan security officials have the other day foiled an attempt by the Indian intelligence to enact a fake terror act on the ceasefire line in Kashmir in order to implicate Pakistan in terrorism, and draw international pressure through lethal propaganda by its media and diplomatic channels. The plan was unearthed when a suspect was apprehended in a Sialkot border area while attempting to cross over to the Indian side through the heavily guarded border fence; which is not possible because the impregnable barbed wires entrance points are locked and controlled by the Indian Border Security Force itself. The man apprehended by the Pakistan officials has confessed during the interrogations that he is an Indian spy, and was tasked to recruit agents from Pakistan to work for the Indian intelligence agency, RAW.
The latest confessions of Hindu extremist leader Swami Seemanand that he, long with Indian armys in-service Col Prohit and others, was involved in the February 2007 Samjhota Express bombing that killed 68 Pakistani passengers, are a proof enough.
This arrest has pulled the lid off Indian spying networks in Pakistan and the existence of Indian agents or Pakistanis recruited by Indians.
