Militants plan to use chemical, biological warfare, claims PoK journal An Urdu journal published from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has claimed that Islamist militants are in a position to use poisonous gases and chemical weapons in Kashmir, thus strengthening the Indian Army's suspicion that they had been tried during the Kargil conflict. The Jehad-e-Kashmir of Muzaffarabad, quoting unnamed sources among the militants, said they were in a position to produce poisonous gas which could suffocate people to death. The journal said an American convert to Islam who had joined the ranks of the militants was the brain behind the "invention". The Indian Army had found some gas masks at posts vacated by the retreating Pakistan Army and militants on the icy Kargil heights in July, giving rise to the suspicion that they were armed with chemical weapons. Talking to a Jehad-e-Kashmir reporter, the American, now named Abdul Masur, said he could produce such "poisonous gas bombs" on a large scale from certain plants he had found in Kashmir. With this, the threat of the Indian Army's food and water supplies being poisoned has increased, the report said, adding that the Inter-Services Intelligence is already into ways and means to spread "dangerous diseases" in the army camps.
