<b>Sleeper cells still active </b>
Bengaluru, May 26: The Karnataka police appears to be blissfully sleeping over an intelligence report which has alerted them to the existence of three terror modules and various sleeper cells in the state.<b>The state intelligence bureauâs report states that the âsleeper cellsâ have been ârecommissionedâ</b> and the state needs to be vigilant against possible terror attacks, mostly masterminded by Pakistanâs Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
âIt is clearly mentioned in the report that there are two terror modules by the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba operating across the country. Its modules in India have been divided into the western and southern corridor and the eastern and northern corridor,â officials said. The official assessment of the intelligence sleuths and the recent court blasts in Hubli have indicated the involvement of even banned organisations like the Studentsâ Islamic Movement of India (Simi).
<b>What is a sleeper cell?</b>
A sleeper cell is a small group of operatives specifically raised to undertake a terrorist strike. The cell consists of persons who will actually undertake the strike, and some others who will provide logistics such as smuggling in the weapons, storing them safely, or providing a hideout for those who will actually undertake the strike. These are called sleeper cells because its members are specially trained or have a natural aptitude for maintaining a low profile and not attract attention.
