India on bin Laden's hit list: Sunday Times

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA  
LONDON, DEC 20: India has been listed along with the US and Israel as potential target by world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden who has reportedly rebuilt his `terrorist universities' and is about to launch a new international terror campaign, Sunday Times reported.

The paper quoted a senior Harkat commander as saying hundreds of new terrorists had already been trained. The reporters of the paper who visited bin Laden's camp on the Pak-Afghan border said ``his men were being drilled at each base. Classroom poster depict men with AK-47s standing before burning American, Israeli and Indian flags''.

The paper said most of the recruits in the camps at Khwaja Mastoon Ghudai and Sati Kundan near the Pak-Afghan border were mostly from Pakistan, POK and Kashmir Valley.

Quoting Pakistani intelligence sources, Times said, ``The training of Islamic radicals have been fully reactivated inside Afghanistan. We beleive bin Laden may use Ramadan month as the starting point for new operations''.Times said therewere widespread fears that bin Laden's organisation Al Qaida maybe about to send terror squads on missions to bomb American targets in Middle-East a risk which had increased with the new Anglo-American military campaign against Iraq which ended last night. The report said bin Laden is said to have told a senior member of the ruling extremist Taliban militia that `Al Qaida' was `preparing to act'.
