In what could be a cause of worry for India, which has often been the target of attacks by the terror organisation, new videos and information have emerged proving that the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) is teaching its cadre a host of new skills, including martial arts, water-based infiltration and even AI.

In one video, LeT commander Rana Mohammad Ashfaq, one of India’s most-wanted terrorists, is seen entering a swimming pool. Officials from security agencies said that, under Ashfaq, terrorists from the organisation are being prepared for water-based infiltration and exfiltration, navigating difficult situations and executing special operations.

This is especially important because one of India’s deadliest terror attacks, on November 26, 2008, was also carried out by Lashkar using the water route. Ajmal Kasab and others had entered India by hijacking a fishing trawler and then landed in Mumbai using inflatable rubber dinghies.

Some of the training is taking place at the Mangla Dam, where Kasab and other attackers had also trained.
