AFTER US terrorist groups based in Pakistan have threatened to target 
nuclear and military installations all over India in their bid to escalate 
their separatist campaign, reports reaching here from across the border say.

Some half-a-dozen groups have dramatically stepped up their jingoistic 
campaign since the failure of the India-Pakistan summit at Agra in July. In 
the past fortnight, the threats have taken an ominous turn.

While some of the threats to hit "sensitive installations" in India have 
been made publicly in Pakistan, some warnings have been reported by 
Pakistan's Online news agency monitored here.

Sheikh Jamilur Rehman, leader of Tehrukul Mujahideen that is active in Jammu 
and Kashmir, has vowed to attack Indian political leaders as well as the 
country's nuclear and military installations.

He said the attacks would be carried out if India "does not cease atrocities 
on Kashmiris immediately." He said his group would attack these 
installations to avenge Indian military operations in the Himalayan state.

"We have a very effective network throughout India and nothing is out of our 
reach," he told Online.

Lashker-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed said jehad would not be limited to Jammu 
and Kashmir. "There is no limit to it. If someone is going to stop us from 
carrying our mission, we will declare jehad against him as well.

"We plan major operations against the Indian military installations in 
Kashmir and would continue to carry such actions until liberation."

At a seminar organised by Al Bader Mujahideen, separatist groups pledged to 
launch large-scale attacks against "sensitive" Indian military installations 
and target important personalities.

Al Bader Mujahideen deputy head Amir Hamza has also been quoted as saying 
that jehadi activities will continue till Kashmir was liberated.

The United Jehad Council, a Pakistan-based grouping of Kashmir separatist 
groups, has threatened to target "sensitive installations" in India if New 
Delhi did not halt its "repression" in Kashmir.

Its vice-chairman Muhammad Usman said his group might open "another war 
front like Kargil."

He was referring to the large-scale intrusion into Kargil sector of Jammu 
and Kashmir in 1999 by Pakistan-backed Islamic guerrillas that led to a 
virtual war between New Delhi and Islamabad.

He said the Kashmiri separatist campaign, which has claimed more than 25,000 
lives since 1989, "has entered a decisive phase. We are weighing the option 
of an open war with India by capturing a part of Kashmir."

Hizbul Mujahideen deputy supreme commander Maulana Muhammad Javed Qasoori 
has similarly threatened to extend military attacks throughout India.

Al Badar Mujahideen chief Bakht Zameen has urged Islamabad to concentrate on 
strengthening the separatist campaign instead of "wasting time seeking a 
negotiated settlement".

Hizbul Mujahideen supreme commander Syed Salahuddin said the armed struggle 
in Kashmir was gaining momentum. He warned that if big powers did not 
realise their responsibilities, South Asia could plunge into a nuclear war.

Indian officials have blamed terrorist groups linked to Pakistan and some of 
which are active in Kashmir for a string of deadly bombings and suicide 
missions in the country. (IANS)
