A total of nine persons, including five Army personnel, a civilian and three militants were killed and another 10 persons were injured in the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)’s fidayeen (suicide) attack which started on the early hours of February 10 at the Sunjuwan Military Station, close to Jammu City in Jammu District, reports Daily Excelsior. Of five Army fatal casualties, four soldiers, including a Junior Commissioner Officer (JCO), belonged to Kashmir Valley, while another JCO hailed from Hiranagar tehsil of Kathua District in Jammu region. A dead civilian, who happened to be father of one of the soldiers, was also a resident of Kashmir. Official sources said that since 1st Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (JAKLI) had been deployed inside Sunjuwan Military Station, majority of casualties (both dead and injured) hailed from the State. All Army and civilian casualties took place during initial round of firing by the militants, in the morning of February 10. Two soldiers, including one JCO, were killed on February 10, four others, three of them jawans (troopers) and a civilian, succumbed to their injuries in the hospital overnight. While two fidayeens were eliminated on February 10, the third one was killed in wee hours of February 11 morning and since then no gun shots have been heard from any area of Sunjuwan Military Station. However, the Army hasn’t declared the operation as formally over and Para Commandos remained deployed inside the Station, report said. Late in the night (February 11), Army fired mortar shells towards family quarters and surrounding isolated areas to ensure that militants, if any, are neutralized. Operation will be declared as complete only after entire area is sanitized and no further movement of militant(s) is observed. “Sanitization and clearance operations were now in progress. Entire complex was being sanitized to ensure that the militants hadn’t laid any booby trap inside the complex to target Army soldiers and their family members. The movement of the families of jawans and others inside the Military Station would be allowed only when the area is completely sanitized by the Bomb Disposal Squad,” sources said. Hindustan Times adds that the attackers were all Pakistani citizens who had been operating in the Kashmir valley since last year, and had travelled to Jammu just days before the attack, an official said on February 11. “The militants were wearing army combat fatigues and were heavily armed. AK-56 rifles, grenade launchers, grenades and other ammo were recovered from them,” said a security official familiar with the initial probe into the attack. An initial probe suggested the attackers had entered from a spot at the rear of the camp where the boundary was secured only with metal sheets. “One of the attackers, Qari Mushtaq alias Chotu, was active in Tral in south Kashmir. The two others have been identified as Mohammed Adil alias Irfan Bhai, who was operating in Sopore and Pulwama sectors, and Mohammed Khalid Khan alias Rashid Bhai, who was also active in Pulwama,” said the central security official, who asked not to be named. Investigators have found syringes where the militants hid in the camp’s residential quarters before the attack. Suicide attackers have been known to take shots of morphine before launching attacks. Earlier, SATP had reported that two soldiers were killed and nine others were injured in the attack.

The NIA, arrested Jehangir Hussain, a resident of Pulwama, who had reached Nagrota on September 13 along with his Alto car at Nagrota as standby arrangement to shift the militants to the Valley if the truck in which the three militants were travelling from Dayalachak in Hiranagar sector to Kashmir, went out of order at any place. Official sources said that not one but a fleet of vehicles including trucks and cars had been used by the JeM cadre to transport the militants from Jammu to Kashmir, mostly South Kashmir, and nearly a dozen militants and OGWs were involved in the entire operation. “The militants had tactfully been using different trucks and cars to dodge the police and other security agencies along the National Highway and other places,” sources pointed out.
