TimeofIndia 2002-jan -02
SRINAGAR: STD and ISD services were withdrawn from all private public
call offices (PCOs) and cybercafes in the Kashmir Valley on Tuesday
following reports of misuse of the facilities by militants which came
to light, especially after the December 13 attack on Parliament.

While crippling the STD and ISD facilities in the valley, Bharat
Sanchar Nagam Ltd (BSNL) officials, however, said that the facilities
to individuals, firms and offices would remain intact.

The decision to withdraw the services for an "indefinite period" owing
to security reasons was reportedly taken after the first meeting of
the Cabinet Committee on Security, which met after the audacious
attack on Parliament.

The move, according to informed sources, was taken after it was found
that Mohammed, leader of the suicide squad attack on Parliament, had
extensively used the Internet and e-mail facilities while planning the
December 13 operations.

It may be mentioned that security personnel had seized a laptop from
Mohammed Afzal, pointman of Jaish-e-Mohammed, and during its scrutiny
it was found that Mohammed had finalised the plan through e-mails to
Pakistan and Dubai.

The sources said that anti-national elements, mainly militants, were
using the STD, ISD and Internet facilities for "taking instructions
from their mentors across the border."

Meanwhile, the fresh move may also put into jeoparady the prestigious
project of the Jammu and Kashmir government of setting up a software
park in the valley.
