Silchar, Feb. 25 :     Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence has opened a secret cell in Dhaka to establish links with militants of the Northeast, now hibernating in Bangladesh. According to an Indian intelligence agency's classified document, the cell has been constituted to execute a long-term plan, code-named K-3, for the Northeast. The cell is headed by a colonel of the Pakistan Army and comprises three officers of the ranks of Lt. Colonel and Major and eight junior commissioned officers. The document says the K-3 plan aims at broadening the scope of the earlier K-2 plan, hatched by the ISI after the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war to avenge its defeat by destabilising and disintegrating India. The strategies under the K-series were code-named after the Karakoram range. The document revealed that the cell operates from Wireless Gate, a locality in Dhaka, and has links with militants of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah), the People's Liberation Army and the United Liberation Front of Asom who have leases in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and selected pockets under Sylhet division in Bangladesh. What assumes significance is the startling disclosure that the ISI agents even use facilities of the Bangladesh Military Academy in Dhaka for training the militants. According to senior intelligence officials, apart from the top brass of the Bangladesh Army and the defence ministry, few people know of such goings-on at the academy. According to the report, the ISI's main objective is to force the Centre to deploy security forces to the Northeast so that it is unable to mobilise adequate troops to combat militancy in Jammu and Kashmir. The reports also indicate that the ISI is training cadre of the Islamic Sotobir Sangha, a militant wing of the Jammat-e-Islami in Bangladesh and is in touch with the Islamic fundamentalists operating in Assam and Manipur. The document says the Joint Intelligence Bureau, the largest wing of the ISI which functions under the deputy director-general (political) of this agency, oversees all ISI activity in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir and the Northeast. The ISI has been using Indian smugglers, other Indian nationals visiting Pakistan with valid travel papers and Pakistani citizens visiting India as either their couriers or to escort its agents. The Indian nationals, used by the ISI to obtain intelligence, are trained in an array of jobs including map reading, collection of intelligence through observation and the art of communication through the 'drops' of domestic codes, wireless in ciphers and photography. The ISI has a vast network with a cadre strength of nearly 20,000. Many of its agents are drilled in the newly-opened training centre of Pakistan's Corps of Intelligence at Muree near Rawalpindi. Army sources said the ISI runs as many as 50 training centres for Kashmir militants. Some of these are located at Abottabad, Chak, Narkot, Chakothi, Jhelum, Langrial, Jaffarwal and Narpwal.
