TURKEY is allegedly preparing to send jihadists to the disputed territory of Kashmir.

According to sources, Turkish intelligence services are training 100 mercenaries in the southern city of Mersin ahead of their deployment to Kashmir, where they will fight against India.

But the members of the notorious Sultan Murad Brigade are said to be demanding payment up front after complaining that they were not paid in full when sent to Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh.
