NEW DELHI: An outfit that the agencies are keeping a close watch on is the Dukhtareen-e-Taiba (DeT). This is the women's wing of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and has been in the making for several years.
Initially, the LeT had decided to launch the all-women's outfit DeT with the intention of grooming women suicide bombers. However, the outfit never took off and the plan was shelved.
Now, the LeT has decided to re-activate its women's wing, but the intention is not for them to carry out attacks, but involve them in recruitment drives as well as radicalisation.
