Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the four were plotting "to wreak major havoc" with an attack aiming to disrupt local elections in the disputed territory of Kashmir starting this week. A diplomatic source added that India had indicated that it felt "under pressure" to take action over the infiltration. India accuses Pakistan of aiding militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir, while Pakistan insists it gives only diplomatic support to the separatist cause. That attack was also blamed on JeM, whose leader Masood Azhar has since been put on a Security Council terrorist list. Indian officials said that 11 AK-47 rifles, 29 grenades and 7.5 kg of RDX explosive were found in their truck.
