India asked Pakistan to destroy the 42 terror camps operational there, saying that a resurgent Taliban could be a “security threat” to the country after US forces pull out from Afghanistan.“There are 42 terror camps which are still operational.In the recent past, reports have suggested that a large number of terrorists are waiting on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC) to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir.To a query on the impact of the pullout by the US forces from Afghanistan in the next couple of years, he said, a resurgent Taliban can be a “security concern for us” after western forces leave the war-torn country. American troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by 2014 and are engaged in the process of building capabilities of the Afghan National Army to enable it to handle security on its own.
