<b>Navy and Coast Guard asked to scan barren islands against presence of LeT and JeM </b>
The Government on December 5 asked the Navy and Coast Guard to scan the 1200-odd uninhabited islands scattered across the Indian maritime zone, reports Times of India. The Government suspects that the Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), could have their marine jihadi bases in those islands and from there the militants are sent to the mainland.
