A group of three militants intruded into two houses at village Kuchaal in the Chatroo area of Kishtwar district on May 2 and kidnapped two civilians identified as Bashir Ahmed, a PHE employee and Imtiyaz Ahmed, a surrendered militant, Daily Excelsior reported. The militants took away the civilians to a surrounding forest area and were reported to have held them hostage for few hours before killing both of them. Bodies of both the persons were recovered from the Kuchaal forest area on May 3-morning during a search operation launched by local people and police. Police and security forces have started a search operation for the militants, who were suspects to be local cadre of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit. Sources said Imtiyaz Ahmed was killed by the militants as they were opposed to his surrender and were asking him to resume militant activities. However, Imtiyaz, who had surrendered in 2002, had refused to again take up the guns. Bashir was killed for his association with the surrendered militant.

The police stated that with the neutralisation of the top leadership of militants in the Doda, Kishtwar, Reasi, Poonch and Rajouri districts besides several other arrests and surrenders, the militant groups were now hesitant to name the successors of their slain commanders. The new militant commanders were not being named as outfits like the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) feared that new commanders would also be targeted by police. The Inspector General of Police (Jammu zone), K. Rajendra, told Daily Excelsior that the new trend of groups not naming successors to slain commanders has been noticed during the last couple of months especially after the killing of three top commanders Badshah Khan in Reasi, Shamim Thool in Doda and Sabha Kashmiri in Kishtwar. The number of militants has also decreased considerably in the Jammu division from over 1000 to 650-700, he said, adding that only 300 of them were actively operating while the rest of them were either lying low or had gone across the border. About 30 per cent of the active militants were foreign mercenaries, he stated.

For the second time in less than a week, Pakistani troops opened unprovoked fire on an Indian border post at Tangdhar in northern Kashmir in a development which was described as "worrisome" by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Daily Excelsior reported. "It is worrisome," Singh said as the violation of the five-year-old cease-fire was taken up by the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) through the hotline. "India’s concerns over the unprovoked firing were conveyed to his Pakistani counterpart," Defence Minister A. K. Antony said. The Prime Minister reportedly voiced concern over the firing while talking to reporters on the sidelines of the Defence investiture ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. "We have taken up the matter at the level of DGMO," Singh said, adding that all issues having a bearing on the India-Pakistan relations would be taken up during the forthcoming Foreign Minister level talks between the two countries. Using heavy machine guns and mortars, Pakistani troops targeted a forward Indian post in the Tangdhar area raking it with 50 to 60 rounds on May 14-evening, Army sources said. These sources added that this was not a covering fire for any attempt to push in terrorists and it was targeted straight at the Indian post. "There was no casualty," an Army spokesman said adding that Indian Forces had exercised "extreme restraint" and had not opened retaliatory fire. This is the first major violation of the cease-fire by the Pakistani troops on Line of Control which has been in force since December 2003. In Islamabad, however, a Pakistani military spokesman denied that its troops had fired at the Indian post.

Admitting that the border guards could not fully foil the intrusion bid by the Pakistani terrorists in the Samba sector on May 9, the Director General of Border Security Force (BSF), A K Mitra, said on May 16 that 1000 additional troops would be immediately deployed on the International Border with Pakistan to plug the vulnerable areas. "We had thought that the fencing was impregnable but our misunderstanding has been cleared with the recent infiltration bid from the Samba sector which was partially successful as only two to three terrorists might have infiltrated," Mitra said while talking to the media after visiting some parts of the International Border in the back-drop of the May 9 infiltration attempt. He also informed the media that four infiltration attempts were made from the International Border during 2008 so far.

Violating the cease-fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch sector, Pakistani troops on May 19 opened unprovoked heavy firing on a forward Indian post killing one trooper, according to Daily Excelsior.
