“Around 45-50 suicide bombers are training inside the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist camp in the Balakot town of Pakistan,” top government sources told ANI.
A few of the terrorists, who have trained there, have even been sent to Kashmir for carrying out terror attacks on Indian security bases, the sources said.
Sources said the facility had remained closed for six months after the Indian Air Force attacked it on February this year.
