Two days after seven pilgrims were killed in the Amarnath attack, the news of Pakistan arming militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen with chemical weapons to attack Kashmir has surfaced.
In a exclusive report, CNN News 18 on Wednesday asserted that it had access to audio tapes that reveal Pakistan’s plan and that the Hizbul members have already received these weapons.
“Peer Sahib (LeT chief Hafiz Muhammed Saeed) wants me, but my people want me back. Our next programme will be after Eid... We will plan our next move after Eid,” CNN News 18 reported, quoting the transcript that they have accessed.
The Quint could not independently verify these audio tapes.
The report further goes on to assert that the Hizbul is planning to “surprise” Indian security forces with this chemical attack.
“Inshallah, we are going to get lots of support from Pakistan... things are happening along the border. In days to come, Pakistan will step-up its anti-India game,” a Hizbul operative is heard as saying in the audio, according to CNN-news 18.
The same operative, according to the report, is heard as saying that since they have been using traditional grenade launchers till now, they have managed to kill only 3-4 people. “We will straightway use chemical weapons,” he says.
