NEW DELHI: Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has issued an outrageous warning in Kashmir, telling residents to stop helping defence forces or face death.

In its latest diktat, Lashkar-e-Taiba has put up posters in the Doda district of Kashmir warning locals that all who either serve in the paramilitary forces or the police force will be slaughtered.

The posters warn locals who are working in the paramilitary or police force, that they should resign or face consequences.

The Lashkar goes on to add that in coming days the group will target 5 SPOs.

Since January this year more than eight top commanders of LeT have been eliminated by the troops in Doda and adjoining Kishtwa heights giving a jolt to the outfit.

The men in khaki, especially the Special Police Officials (SPOs) are said to have played a crucial role in getting these commanders eliminated which could have led to these latest threats.
