Pak using jihadis to build up along Kashmir border
Militants have constructed several bunkers and blown up small bridges in the the Poonch-Rajouri sector in what appeared to be a pre-war Pakistani army plan. Militants belonging to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed have been active in high altitude areas south of Pir Panjal range, and have built several bunkers in the sector. Radio intercepts indicated officers in the Special Service Group (SSG) of the Pakistan army were directing the militants' activities. 2000 to 3000 jehadis are currently located or operating in this area, the sources said.
If that's a true report, it's a stupid move. It makes Musharraf look like Arafat - either a liar, or incapable of controlling his people, or both.
