Army killed a most wanted Kashmiri militant, Abdul Qayoom Najjar alias Jan Sahab alias Abid alias Wazir alias Qyoom Chacha and foiled a major infiltration attempt in Lacchipora area of Uri in Baramulla District on September 26, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that a group of JaisheMohammed (JeM) militants attempted infiltration from Zorawar Post of Lacchipora in Uri sector during the night and alert troops spotted them at around 3 am on September 26. The troops challenged the infiltrating group of militants leading to an encounter in which one militant who was later identified as Qayoom Najjar was killed. The other militants of the group including his long time associate, Imtiaz Kandu fled away taking advantage of terrain and darkness. One AK47 rifle, 4 AK magazines, several rounds of AK ammunition, one Chinese pistol, six pistol magazines, one matrix sheet, IED (improvised explosive device) making equipment, one grenade, one GPS (Global Positioning System), one night vision, dry fruits, Pakistan made medicine, Pakistan and Indian currency, one stick and one rucksack were recovered from the spot.Qayoom Najjar was a resident of Mumkak Sopore area of Baramulla District and was one of the longest surviving Kashmiri militant ‘commanders’ carrying a reward of INR10 lakh on his head. Najjar, had joined militancy at an age of 16. He was arrested in 1992 and later released. After his release, he recycled into the militancy in 1995. Though for many years, Najjar was a militant, but he always aspired to become a top commander after killing and arrest of top HizbulMujahideen (HM) commanders, Najar was the senior most active commander and thus the defacto operational chief of HM. Qayoom until 2015 was affiliated with HM but he broke away from the outfit and formed his own LashkareIslam which carried out series of attacks on mobile towers and killed several former militants and Hurriyat activists for their alleged links with Security Forces (SFs). Later in 2015, he crossed over to Pakistan and met HM ‘supreme’ Syed Salahudin but failed to patch up with his former boss. He, however, later joined JeM and had come to Kashmir to revive the outfit but was killed while sneaking in.Police said that Najjar was active since 1999 and exfiltrated to Pakistan in 2015 and was returning to take command of HizbulMujahideen (HM). The killed commander was despatched by United Jehad Council (UJC) ‘commander’ Syed Salahudin to revive the HM whose commanders of North Kashmir Pervaiz Wani alias Mubashir and of South Kashmir Yasin Yatoo had got killed recently. Police said his return was also necessitated because of wiping out of HM from North Kashmir. “He was involved in dozens of killings of civilians, police and security forces”, Police added. Police said that he was behind the killing of then HM ‘Commander’ Abdul Majid Dar who had entered into dialogue process with Government of India in year 2000. “The killed terrorist was also involved in number of IED blasts carried out by HM in North Kashmir in Sopore, Pattan, Handwara and Baramulla. He briefly fell out with HMHurriyat leadership in 2015 when he orchestrated multiple attacks on mobile towers and killing of some civilians affiliated with Hurriyat. He was recalled to base camp in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to sort out the differences”, Police added.Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Imtiaz Husain said that Najjar was involved in over 50 killings and his killing is a major relief for security agencies. “He was involved in the killing of 50 civilians and security force personnel and was most dreaded terrorists in the history of Kashmir. It is a major success and we are thankful to army for neutralizing him. If he would have managed to infiltrate it would have been big problem for us as he had huge network in Baramulla district. He was sent to take the command of Hizb in Kashmir after killing of top Commanders of the outfit. His killing is relief for us and people”, he said.
