Newly formed terror group with suspected backing of Lashkar-e-Taiba dismantled in Kashmir
Srinagar/IBNS: Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim (TLM), a newly formed terror group, has been dismantled after conducting multiple raids in Jammu and Kashmir, media reports said.
The anti-terror raids were carried out by the Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) across several districts including Srinagar, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kulgam, Budgam, Anantnag, Pulwama.
The authorities claim TLM is an offshoot of Pakistan-based terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Reportedly, the TLM was operated by a Pakistan handler, who is referred to as 'Baba Hamas'.
Probe has found TLM has the ideological and logistical connections to LeT, which is one of the active terror groups in the region.
Baba Hamas was engaged in the management of cross-border infiltration, financing and recruitment strategies, NDTV reported.
The raid was launched primarily to target the operatives involved in recruitment and mobilisation of cadres for the group, which had spread its wings in the valley.
