Pakistan Army asks Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed to lay low post Pulwama assault: Sources

New Delhi, Feb 20 Following gigantic international pressure over a week ago's Pulwama assault that killed 40 jawans, the Pakistan Army has asked Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar and 26/11 Mumbai attack plan Hafiz Saeed to hide out.

The nation's military has asked the two internationally designated terrorists to keep up a position of safety and stay away from open appearances, sources disclosed to Zee Media.

On February 14, more than 2000 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) staff going in a caravan of 78 vehicles on Jammu-Srimagar parkway was attacked by vehicle-borne suicide plane at Lethpora (close Awantipora) in the Pulwama area. The attack brought about the demise of no less than 40 CRPF work force and harmed many others.

Dread outfit JeM asserted duty regarding the assault and Kashmiri neighborhood Adil Ahmad Dar was recognized as the suicide aircraft.

According to Indian intelligence agencies, the RDX used to attack the transport was acquired by Pakistan Army in Rawalpindi and gave over to JeM agents. The way toward gathering RDX allegedly started in March 2018 and the explosives were smuggled using backpacks, cylinders and coal bags to Tral village of Pulwama.

According to sources, around 80 kg of RDX was used by the terrorists in the attack, which included Ammonium Nitrate and different synthetic compounds.

India has for some time been requesting activity against Masood Azhar, the organizer supremo of UN-assigned dread outfit JeM, who purportedly works out of Pakistan-involved Kashmir. New Delhi as of now has Azhar as a standout amongst its most needed psychological militants following the 2016 assault on Pathankot Air Force Station by JeM.

In a major boost to India's efforts to get Azhar on the list of worldwide terrorists, France will move a proposition at the UN in "two or three days" to boycott the leader of the UN-prohibited gathering, French sources said on Tuesday.

China, then again, has refused to back India's request to list Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN.

Hafiz Saeed, the organizer of banned terrorist outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), has also driven a few psychological militant assaults focusing on guiltless lives crosswise over India.

Despite international pressure, Pakistan has time and again sheltered these international terrorists under its belt.

Inside 100 hours of the occurrence, the Armed powers killed three JeM terrorists, including top agents Kamran and Abdul Rasheed nom de plume Ghazi, accepted to be the geniuses of Pulwama suicide shelling.

Ghazi is also said to have battled in Afghanistan and was handpicked by Azhar to retaliate for the killing of his nephews. An IED expert, he is accepted to have been sent to training locals.

A few countries over the world have denounced the Pulwama attack.
