What is not "truly stupid" is the digital positioning data recovered from their GPS sets- originating from Chham, moving to the LC and then on to near Kamalkote village (where there was a cross-LOC artillery exchange just last month which killed a teenage Kashmiri girl). The data shows that they stopped there (probably for a meal) before they crossed the Jhelum on foot at around 2:30 AM on Fri.
The LeT hand is derived not from any identification found on the bodies (they had none) but on intercepts of local
Lashkar units reporting on the attack to their base station across the LC. The fact that the assault team started out from Chham is guaranteed to further inflame tensions because Chham has a significant military presence. Retaliation is almost inevitable.
