Banned Pakistani groups 'expand'
Militant groups banned in Pakistan are expanding operations and recruitment in Pakistani-run Kashmir, according to a government report seen by the BBC.
The observations are from a detailed secret report submitted to the region's government on the groups' activities in the city of Muzaffarabad and elsewhere.
Pakistan banned the groups in 2002 after an attack on India's parliament brought the two states close to war.
A senior Pakistani minister denied that such a report had been submitted.
"No such report has come before the government which shows that these organisations have revived their activities," Qamaruzaman Qaira, Pakistan's Information Minister, told the BBC.
"However, if the report was submitted by a secret agency then that is another matter altogether," he said.
Pakistan's allies, including the US, have expressed fears regarding the groups' proliferation and their close links to al-Qaeda.
