He said the four terrorist organisations — Lashker-e- Taiba (LeT),Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM),Jamat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) and Hizbul Mujahideen — were earlier operating separately but have come together now and intercepts of its cadres’ conversations have mention of Taliban.

“Make sure that we remain on high alert because four organisations are working in concord. That means the level of threat is pretty high,” he told an Indian TV channel.

“I don’t think anyone has captured anyone to identify him as a Taliban. All that we know is that there is a serious attempt to infiltrate into India,” the Home Minister said.

He was responding to a question about reports that about 30 Taliban terrorists have entered Kashmir.

Chidambaram said the government does not know who is directing them and it is too early to draw conclusions. The minister said the word Taliban has occurred in that conversations but “at the moment we cannot draw any conclusions”.
