'Halal Dasta': Pakistan's ISI launches new terror outfit to target India

Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has allegedly launched another militant outfit named "Halal Dasta" which consists of members of the banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The new terror outfit literally means "Killer Squad". Halal Dasta is operating along with Pakistan Army's Border Action team or BAT, reports Zee News based on inputs from top Indian intelligence sources.

According to the report, the prime purpose of the group is to carry out strikes along the Line of Control (LoC), inflicting damage in Surankot and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir and hurt the Indian Army.

ISI officials also held a meeting with top commanders of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen to create a blueprint of the attacks. Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Syed Salahudeen was also present at the meeting, reports Zee News.

Last week, at least seven to eight armed BAT members attempted to infiltrate Kupwara in Jammu & Kashmir as Indian troops opened fire on them.
