SRINAGAR – Indian Army GOC Northern Command Lt General Anbu said themilitants are attacking softer targets as they are failing at the borders.”The enemy is frustrated and is trying softer targets.

When they fail at borders they attack camps. All 3 groups – HM, JeM or LeTare hand in glove. There’s no differentiation, they keep jumping from oneTanzim to other.

Anyone who picks up an arm and is against the state, is a terrorist andwe’ll deal with them,” he said.

Concerned over youngsters joining insurgency, GOC Northern Command said “weneed to address this trend.

In 2017, we focused on leadership and eliminated it. Social media is alsoresponsible for the increase in terror. It is engaging the youth on a largescale, and I think we need to focus on this issue.”
