2003 article.

Jammu, October 19
Pakistan-backed militants have smuggled tiny remote-controlled toy planes into Jammu division from across the border to target VIPs and aircraft, official sources said today.

Pakistan-backed militants, particularly those of the Laskhar-e-Toiba, have smuggled 20 remote-controlled toy planes to Jammu to target VIPs and aircraft in Jammu and Kashmir and cause terror and security problems, the sources said. The toy planes, made of plastic material, have been smuggled from across the Line of Control and the international border from Pakistans launching pads Bhimber, Nikiyal, Samani, Kalsan, Basanter and Koteqube during the past over a month, the sources said, quoting intelligence reports and intercepts. These toy planes, weighing 3 to 4 kg, have a capacity to carry up to 2 kg of explosives, enough to damage an aircraft or blow up a vehicle, they said. PTI
