New Delhi:
The nine targets struck under ‘Operation Sindoor’ in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) also included Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) training camps linked to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the Indian Army said today.
- The Operation Sindoor targets included Ajmal Kasab’s training camp and the terror group’s headquarters in Muridke, which was visited by David Headley, the key accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks that left 166 people dead in 2008. While Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist among the Pakistani group, was hanged to death in Pune in 2012, Headley is currently in a jail in the US.
- The missile strikes were also launched at the headquarters of banned terror groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen.
- The targets also included Markaz Subhan Allah at Bahawalpur, Sarjal at Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas in Kotli and Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad, all belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammed.
- Out of the nine targets, four were in Pakistan and the other five were in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
- The Operation Sindoor was launched to avenge the killing of tourists at Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22.
