Four militants, including one ‘District Commander’ of the Hiz-bul-Mujahideen (HM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) each, an Army Major and a Marine commando were killed during two separate encounters in the Baramulla and Bandipora Districts, taking the death toll in the two-days gun battle to eight, official sources said on September 23, Daily Excelsior reported. In the encounter at Banyari village in the Bandipora District which started in the evening of September 22 and ended at 5pm on September 23 the Army eliminated HM ‘District Commander’ Pasha and the LeT ‘District Commander’ Moosa. Army Major, G. S. Suri, and a trooper, Khushal, were killed when they sustained bullet injuries during initial firing from militants as they entered a house where the militants were hiding. "A team of Army officers and soldiers entered a house at Banyari last evening (September 22). They came under heavy firing from militants in which four of them were injured. Major Suri and Naik Khushal were killed while two others managed to steer to safety in an injured condition," the sources said. "Two officers -- Major Gautam Raj Reshi and Major Kamlesh Kumar, NCO Mahipal Singh and Sepoy Naveen were injured," they added. The militants were hiding in a house which was cordoned off by the Security Forces (SFs) and, as reported earlier, reinforcements were rushed to spot and the house was cordoned off to prevent the militants from escaping from the spot, leading to a fierce exchange of firing between the two holed up militants and the SFs. Pasha, a foreign militant, was active in the area for the last more than 10 years and was considered to be the driving force behind many attacks on the SFs and political workers. Moosa, who was working in close coordination with the HM militants recently, was also wanted by the SFs for the last couple of years, the sources said. During another encounter in the Panzla forest area of Rafiabad in Baramulla District on September 23, a Marine commando, identified as Chandra Shekhar, and an unidentified holed up militant were killed in the exchange of firing. The encounter in the area has now entered its third day. After night long lull, firing between the two sides resumed early in the morning. Two to three more militants are believed to be still hiding in the dense forests of Panzla area as the intermittent exchange of firing continued till last reports were received from the area. As reported earlier, one Army personnel and a militant were killed and four other Army personnel were injured in exchange of firing between the two sides on September 22. The encounter began late in the evening of September 21.

The Army has foiled a third infiltration bid by militants in the past four days along the Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar sector of Kupwara District in north Kashmir on November 17, killing one militant and arresting another. "Two militants tried to enter this side of Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar sector of Kupwara district from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir late last night but were challenged by alert troops," Defence spokesman Lt Colonel J S Brar told Daily Excelsior. He said the heavily-armed militants opened firing on the Army troops, leading to a exchange of gunfire between the two sides. "One militant was killed in the exchange of firing while another was caught alive, clearly establishing Pakistan's link to unrest in the State," he added. The arrested militant was identified as 23-year old Tanveer Ahmad alias Anas, a resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), who claimed to have received training in Muzaffarabad for four months. Two AK rifles, a large quantity of war like stores, including a GPS and a Thuraya Set, were recovered from the incident site. This is the third infiltration bid at the LoC since November 14. While five militants were shot dead while trying to sneak into the Indian side on November 14 at Kamalkote in the Uri sector of Baramulla District, one militant and two Army soldiers were killed in a failed infiltration bid in the Keran sector of Kupwara District on November 16. The operation in Keran sector was still in progress as, sources said, one militant was still believed to be hiding in the forests. Although a Defence spokesman said there were no fresh casualties in the operation, he added that at least four Army soldiers sustained minor injuries while combating the elusive militant.

Army on December 17 foiled an infiltration bid by militants at Kamalkote in Uri sector near the Line of Control (LoC), killing one militant, reports Daily Excelsior. The other cadres of the group escaped back into Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The militants had not crossed the barbed wire fencing erected along the Line of Control (LoC) but had entered the Indian Territory when the gun battle took place. A Defence spokesman said the operation was still in progress. As per intelligence reports, more than 2000 militants are waiting at various launch pads across the LoC, awaiting orders to infiltrate into the Valley and other parts of the State. Nearly 100 militants have been killed in dozens of infiltration bids along the LoC in 2009 after the top three militant outfits - Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) - lost several of their top ‘commanders’ in anti-militancy operations launched by the Security Forces.
