US Intel: Pakistan-Supported Terror Groups To Continue Attacks In India, Develop New Nukes

The US intelligence chief has warned that Pakistan-supported terror groups will continue to carry out attacks inside India, thus risking escalation of tension between the two neighbours. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats' remarks came days after a group of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists struck the Sunjuwan Military Camp in Jammu on Saturday, killing seven people including six soldiers. Pakistan, in fact, will continue to threaten US interests by deploying new nuclear weapons capabilities, maintaining its ties to terrorists, restricting counter- terrorism cooperation, and drawing closer to China, Mr Coats said in his testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Tuesday. The US intel report also says that Pakistan is developing new types of nuclear weapons, including short-range tactical ones, sea-based cruise missiles, air-launched cruise missiles, and longer-range ballistic missiles.
