Targeted locations also include the Lashkar-e-Taiba training camp associated with the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, including training at Ajmal Kasab, and the organization's Muridke (Punjab, Pakistan) headquarters, visited by David Headley and Tahawwur Rana. Al Qaeda terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed in 2001 and has donated Rs 1 million to build a hotel there.
The choice of the target is done based on extensive intelligence, mainly due to Pakistan's ever-changing strategy aims to cover up terrorist training camps and circumvent sanctions from international organizations, including the FATF.
Among the targets hit in the precise action are Markaz Subhan Allah of Bahawalpur, Sarjal of Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas of Kotli and Syedna Bilal camps in Muzaffarabad (all banned Jaish-ee-Mohammed terrorist groups).
Markaz Taiba in Murdike, Markaz Ahle Hadith in Barnala and Shwawai Nalla camps in Muzaffarabad (all forbidden Lashkar-e-Taiba) and Makaz Raheel Shahid in Kotli, Mehmoona joya (Mehmoona joya in Sialkot)
Of the nine targets selected by India, four were in Pakistan and the remaining five were in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Sources said details of the selected target said that the Jaish-e-Mohammed camp in Sarjal Tehra Kalan, Narowal district of Punjab, Pakistan, is the main launch pad for terrorist groups and is operated by the primary health center.
In fact, the camp was taken care of by Chief Abdul Rauf Asgar. The facility is six kilometers away from the Samba River department of Chamu and is used to identify and dig cross-border tunnels to penetrate terrorists.
The launch pad is also used for drone operation, for weapons, and narcotics fall on the border.
The Shawai Nallah camp in POK Muzaffarabad is one of the important camps in Lashkar-e-Taiba, and even the 26/11 attackers in Mumbai were trained. They say it was built in 2000. The Pakistani army and ISI have been frequenting the camp, which can accommodate up to 200-250 terrorists at a time.
They said the terrorists in these camps mainly infiltrated North Kashmir, adding that the camp was also used for radicalization and map reading recruits.
Muridke's Markaz Taiba is known as the “Horror Factor” and is also one of the most important training centers in Lashkar-e-Taiba, where physical exercise and a two-week indoctrination course were recruited, where recruits were brainwashed. They said about 1,000 students from different courses entered the camp.
At the request of Pakistan's ISI, all 10 terrorists, including Kasab, were awarded to all 10 terrorists in the facility'daura-e-ribbat (intelligence training). Markaz Subhanallah, Bahawalpur, Pakistan, is the main center of Jaish-e-Mohammed for training and indoctrination and serves as the operational headquarters of terrorist organizations.
Plans for the Pulwama terrorist attack in February 2019 were carried out in the camp.
This Mamaz (center) also includes the residence of global terrorists and the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammed, Masood Azhar, his brother Asghar, among others. They said Masood Azhar used the platform to conduct anti-Indian rhetoric.
The Markaz Abbas camp in Kotli, Kashmir, chosen by Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, was chosen because it was led by Qari Zarar, Asghar's close assistant, and there were 100-125 Jaish-e-Mohammemed terrorists. Zarar was wanted by NIA.
They said the facility was used to infiltrate terrorists from Poonch and Rajouri departments and only planned all terrorist attacks in this camp.
Another Jaish-e-Mohammed in Muzaffarabad, known as Markaz Syedna Bilal, has 50-100 terrorists, and the special service organization of the Pakistani army provides training for Jem Cadres at the facility.
The Mehmoona Joya terrorist facility in Sialkot is hidden in a health department, which is used to infiltrate Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists into the search area, except for a camp where training is conducted, including the handling of weapons.
The camp has 30 terrorists, led by Irfan Tanda, who is responsible for the attacks in the city of Jamu.
Markaz Raheel Shahid of Kotli, hit by the IAF, was also used to train them in Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, especially in Border Operations (BAT) and sniper attacks.
The ninth goal, they said, is Markaz Ahle Hadith, in Barnala, POK, used by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists, who said the camp has the ability to accommodate 100-150 cadres.
