Advani to visit Srinagar today

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 2. The Union Home Minister, Mr. L. K. Advani, is slated to visit Srinagar tomorrow to review the law and order situation, following Monday's terrorist attack on the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. His day-long interaction with senior officials is expected to take into account the recent escalation in attacks on security agencies after a comparative lull in the wake of the September 11 bombings in the U.S.

Only a week ago, senior Government sources said the `incidents' in Jammu and Kashmir had waned after the September 11 attacks. Signal intercepts had indicated that Islamabad was ordering the disbanding of training camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It was also ordering the militants to leave Jammu & Kashmir. The sources had felt that the Pakistani security agencies had given these orders under the U.S. pressure.
