What happened to the training camps?

MANSEHRA: There's no word on the fate of the Jihad training camps near Mansehra, believed to be 35 in number, as reported by the monthly news magazine Herald a couple of months ago.

In any case, most of these facilities were make-shift arrangements with a room or two built for housing the Jihadi warriors whom India accuses of carrying out cross-border terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Pakistani media are not least likely to check or even speculate on their fate at a time when 40,000 people are feared dead and the toll is expected to rise even further.

Islamabad has formally rejected India’s offer to help the victims of the quake residing along the LoC. The most recent attacks blamed on cross-border terrorism have been in the Jammu district in the south which borders Pakistani Punjab and not the PoK.
