LeT claims to have acquired
Chinese anti-aircraft guns

"Our cadres have procured latest Chinese-made guns which can be used against fighter aircraft and to destroy bridges and buildings," according to Lashkar mouthpiece Jihad Times.

The paper said Lashkar cadres have also been equipped with 60mm heavy mortars with an accurate range of 2.5 kms, adding these sophisticated arms had been pushed into Jammu and Kashmir.

The paper also said Lashkar and other mercenary groups had begun using mobile phones for communication with commanders based in Pakistan.

According to army sources in New Delhi, in recent operations security forces had captured two sophisticated mobile phone sets, manufactured by the Swedish company Ericsson, linked to mobile phone companies operating in border towns in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.

For security reasons, the J&K government has banned use of mobile phones in the state and according to army officials, mercenary groups have begun to use smuggled mobile phones - particularly in Poonch and Rajouri areas from October this year.

"At least two mobile sets are in operation in Poonch area with militants calling their commanders across the border," army officials said.
