Three terrorist groups that are banned by the Indian government—Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen, and Jaish-e-Mohammed —have established a joint training facility in Abbottabad, Pakistan, according to intelligence sources close to NDTV.

Abbottabad was home to former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who operated from a secure walled compound. In May 2011, U.S. special forces raided the site, killing bin Laden. A year later the compound was demolished by the Pakistan goverment.

Interestingly, the training camp operates on a site the belongs to Pakistan’s Army and is situated close to a military installation, hence, it is considered as a ‘safe zone’. This proximity to the Army camp provides a high level of protection, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to approach without military clearance.

Sources also said, young men and women are trained there under the supervision of Pak's intel agency ISI.

However, it is not known whether the new training camp is built over the ruins of bin Laden's former safe house.

News of a new terrorist training center emerges following a series of recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including Thursday night's assault on an Army vehicle in Baramulla district.
