ISLAMABAD, March 2: Caretaker Interior Minister Lt-Gen (retd) Hamid Nawaz Khan said on Sunday that Indian intelligence agency RAW was involved in acts of terrorism in Pakistan.

“We are sure that RAW is involved and there is no doubt about it,” he told a private news channel. He said terrorist activities could not be sustained for such a long period without the help of foreign elements, adding there was a growing perception that some other countries might also be involved in these activities.

Answering a question, the minister said the interior ministry was studying a plan to install scanners and other modern equipment at entry and exit points of all cities to prevent such acts of terrorism in future.

He said that three to four types of equipment were being considered for the purpose.

The use of modern technology, he said, would also be helpful in post-event investigations.—APP
