The Indian Army and BSF personnel yesterday (on Saturday) arrested two guides of terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed at Gawatha in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri.
Fifteen-year old Sahil Hussain and 16-year-old Yasin Khursheed have been identified as residents of PoK.
At the time of arrest both the youth were unarmed but India Today has learnt through sources that they were acting as guides for terrorists and were helping them sneak into the Indian territory.
According to sources, these two boys helped at least 12 to 18 terrorists to successfully infiltrate into the country.
“During investigation, the individuals revealed their identities as Ahasan Kursheed alias DC, son of Muhammad Kursheed of Khaliana Kalan and Faisal Hussain Awan, son of Gul Akbar of Pottha Jahangir, both in PoK.
“The duo was recruited two years ago by JeM and were guiding terrorists to infiltrate across the Line of Control. The details provided by them are being examined and corroborated by concerned agencies,” he added.
Now, the army is investigating whether these boys helped the four Jaish terrorists who attacked the Uri military base on Sunday (September 18, 2016).
Top Army sources have confirmed to India Today that the attack on the Army Brigade headquarters was planned earlier this year on 15th of August, when PM Modi was addressing the nation from the Red Fort.
The terror attack was foiled by the Army after killing all four members of the Fidayeen squad of Jaish-e-Mohammed near Uri in Mayan area near LoC.
