Saarc: Indian commandos arrive
By Syed Irfan Raza
ISLAMABAD, Dec 16: A team of Indian commandos, Black Cats, arrived here on Tuesday to provide security to Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee during his stay here for the Saarc summit being held early next month, a source in the interior ministry told Dawn.
The source said special arrangements were also being made by Pakistan for the security of the Indian prime minister despite the fact that he would be provided security by Indian security personnel during the summit.
He said another contingent of India commandos would reach here along with the Indian prime minister.
The Indian security team will meet the officials of Pakistani intelligence and law enforcement agencies within a couple of days to chalk out a joint security plan.
The source said a special security squad had been formed to ensure foolproof security for the foreign delegates during the Saarc summit.
The squad comprised 100 commandos of ISI.
