Agencies find that Lashkar is reviving its old Kashmir strategy of using proxies to target civilians. He has decided to maintain a low profile so that he can continue to evade the security agencies. The Kulgam attack took place just two days after terrorist backed channels circulated threat messages and hit lists. Another headache for the security agencies is the kind of recruitment that the outfit is undertaking. This would clearly cause confusion in the minds of the security agencies who would find it hard to track such elements.
