NEW DELHI: Terror groups backed by Pakistan's ISI could use chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological weapons against India initiating a form of "super terrorism", warns a Union Home Ministry report.
With ISI spreading its tentacles in the country from Jammu and Kashmir to down South, the report spoke of active terror modules mushrooming in Bihar, Assam and West Bengal where the sleeper cells have been assigned with specific targets.
In its section on terror groups and weapons of mass destruction, the report said "super terrorism in this perspective can be defined as projected future use of chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological weapons by terrorist groups."
The report said Indo-Nepal border in Bihar is being used for smuggling of arms, explosives, fake currency into the country, while the agency was focusing on Uttar Pradesh to fund Madrasas and recruit youngsters for subversive activities.
South India too is an important part of the overall ISI game-plan since it is being targeted to recruit unemployed youths.
The report also mentions that ISI is trying to revive Punjab militancy and form new anti-India groups in the state.
While Maharashtra has been a victim of underworld gangs which have strong links with ISI, the report mentions that the Pakistan agency was also trying to liaison with the underworld in Gujarat and are using the coastal line for transporting arms and drug running operations.
