The National Investigation Agency team looking into the Pathankot attacks recovered several items from the air force base including a pair of binoculars. Reports say the binoculars have United States army markings on them. This suggests they were stolen by Jaish-e-Mohammad men either from a US base in Afghanistan or from the Pakistan army, which sometimes gets equipment from the US. The NIA will approach the US about this, to gather information on the binoculars.

As part of the investigation, the NIA will also conduct a polygraph test on Gurdaspur policeman Salwinder Singh after getting permission from the court. Singh’s car was allegedly hijacked by terrorists and used to enter the base, a story which officials say is suspect.

Meanwhile, after a meeting on Friday, the Centre decided to conduct a security audit of all vulnerable military sites, The Times of India reported. This will include all installations of paramilitary, police and military forces within a prescribed time span. The meeting was attended by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and other top security officials. A home ministry statement said there is a need to upgrade intelligence and preventive capabilities after Pathankot.
