| Israeli radar and thermal sensors being installed on Indo-Bangla border |
| 2006-10-15 |
| New Delhi, Oct. 15 (PTI): Sophisticated surveillance and tracking gadgets like thermal imagers and underground sensors have been installed along the porous Indo-Bangladesh border to prevent infiltration by Pakistan-backed terrorists. The Border Security Force has been entrusted with installing the gadgets speedily along the 4,096-km frontier on the pattern adopted by the army along the 742-km Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir and parts of the international border (IB) in Punjab and Rajasthan. The BSF, which guards the Indo-Bangladesh border, has procured 900 hand-held thermal imagers and despatched 400 of them to forward areas. The devices, which cost Rs 28 lakh each, can detect heat from the human body and will help track the movement of people, a senior BSF official said. Apart from this, the border force is in the process of installing Israeli-made long-range recce and observation system (LORROS), a radar-based system capable of tracking moving vehicles or humans within a 40-km radius. "We are in the process of procuring 27 such radars at a cost of Rs 2 crore each," the official said. The introduction of the hi-tech gadgetry to stop infiltration comes close on the heels of revelations by security agencies that five of the 11 Pakistani terrorists responsible for the July 11 train bombings in Mumbai had entered the country from Bangladesh. |

| #11 4096 km is really only 4,096,000 meters. I'll bet they could find 4 million starving bangers to dress-right-dress at the border for food. |

| #7 lotp - you may have a future in Indian spy services. This would actually be a tremendous psywar tactic.. it would keep Bangla people away from the Indian border. |

| #6 The disappearing penis epidemics hysterias are actually rather quite funny to read about, in a detached, snarky kind of way, be they in africa or in any other location. Sad thing is, quite often, some people die for this, usually outcast women labelled as witches and lynched by mobs (not sure if this is true for, say, SE Asia). Anyway, if the Pious Pakistanese Males lose their virility, it won't matter much, as long as they can engage in wild, frenzied gunsex. |

| #5 No, no, NO! It does NOT sterilize. It does, however, cause their penises to shrink. Some report persistent flaccidity too. So men - check very carefully EVERY DAY to see if you are suffering these insidious effects. |

| #3 I can imagine bangladeshi imams inciting their followers with stories of the "joo rader" that emits invisible radiation beams - a plot to sterilize the muslims. |
