Army and Police on February 8 shot dead three top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, including a ‘divisional commander’, in an encounter inside a 60 feet deep nullah at village Manjoosh near Nachlana in the Khari area of Banihal tehsil (revenue unit) in Ramban District. Official sources said troops launched a search operation at village Manjoosh after developing a specific input about the presence of three HM militants in the area. The militants when asked to surrender started heavy firing with automatic weapons on the troopers, who retaliated, leading to heavy exchange of gun fighting. All three militants were killed in the encounter with no casualties of Army and Police. Dead bodies of the slain militants, identified as Abdul Rashid Naik alias Qari Zubair, Nasir Ahmed Naik and Mushtaq Ahmed, were recovered from the nullah. While Qari Zubair was a ‘divisional commander’ of HM’s Pir Panjal Regiment, Nasir was a ‘district commander’ and Mushtaq was a ‘battalion commander’ of the outfit. Recoveries made from their possession of the slain militants included two AK-56 rifles, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), three mobile telephones with earphones, battery chargers, AK magazines and ammunition, explosive devices and other items. Significantly, the hideout of the militants was located just one kilometer away from Manjoosh Police post. The militants had been using a rope to reach to 60 feet deep inside the nullah to hide them. With the killings, now only 27 militants were left in Doda-Ramban range, including 10 in Ramban District (seven of HM Pir Panjal Regiment and three of LeT [Lashkar-e-Toiba] Abu Moosa group), Inspector General of Police (Jammu) Dilbagh Singh said.

Army and Police on February 13 arrested two top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants, who happened to be close associates of recently slain HM ‘divisional commander’ Qari Zubair, after an encounter in their house at Bhimdassa in Gool area of Ramban District, reports Daily Excelsior. The arrestees, identified as Tariq Ahmed Chandel and Rafiq Ahmed, were ‘B’ category militants. The Security Forces (SFs) carried out a search operation at village Thachu near Bhimdassa in the night after developing information about the presence of the two militants in the area. Anticipating that they were being chased, the militants took the forest route and reached their houses at Thachu. Their houses were cordoned off but the militants managed to take cover of their family members. It was after about two hour that the SFs arrested the militants after segregating them from their families. However, both the militants did make an attempt to escape by opening fire. They were arrested after a brief exchange of firing. Recoveries made from the possession of slain militants included one AK-56 rifle, one Chinese pistol, four grenades, two pistol magazines, two AK-56 magazines, 39 AK rounds and four pistol rounds. The arrestees were close associates of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘chief’ for Pir Panjal range Abu Moosa also. The LeT and HM were operating jointly in Ramban District since their strength has dwindled in most of the areas.

Security Forces (SFs) shot dead two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, including Mohammad Aiyaz Malik alias Abu Moosa, a ‘divisional commander’ of the outfit who had been operating in Banihal, Gool and other parts of Ramban District for past more than 15 years, reports Daily Excelsior. An intercept of a Pakistani militant, Mehmoodi, presently operating from Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and his conversation with Abu Moosa on April 23 gave the SFs clues about the location of the militant leading to his killing along with his associate. According to Inspector General of Police (Jammu) Dilbagh Singh SFs launched operation along Dandi Nullah (stream) in Aakhran belt of Banihal in Ramban District in the night after developing specific inputs about movement of Moosa and his associate Zulqarnain in the area. However, the encounter started in the morning of April 24, in which both the militants were killed. Zulqarnain, who had operated as bodyguard of Abu Moosa and later became a top militant of the outfit, was active in the militancy for past nine years. Recoveries made from their possession included one AK-47 rifle, one AK-74 rifle, six AK magazines, 160 AK rounds, one Thoraya satellite telephone, one mobile handset, two SIM cards, one binocular, one compass, one Chinese grenade and a large quantity of other ammunition and accessories of explosive material.

A special police officer (SPO) was killed while a ‘divisional commander’ of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and one of the alleged conspirators of September 7 Delhi High Court blast, Mohammad Amin Bhat alias Jehangir Saroori, escaped along with his body-guard, Mohammad Riaz, after a heavy exchange of gun battle between the Security Forces (SFs) and militants at Darang forests in Dachchan Haddal area of Kishtwar District in the morning of November 15, reports Daily Excelsior. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG, Doda-Kishtwar Range) Manish Kumar Sinha said Saroori, a resident of Saroorh (Kishtwar) along with his body-guard, a March 2010 recruit and a resident of Anzar, opened fire on the SFs after observing their movement. The SFs retaliated. In the exchange of firing, SPO Billal Ahmed was killed while Saroori and his body-guard managed to escape along with arms and ammunition leaving their other belongings on the incident site. The SFs, however, have still maintained a cordon at six to seven places in the forests of Dachchan area to trace the militant who was active in militancy since 1990. HM supremo and United Jehad Council (UJC) chief Syed Salahudin and Jehangir Saroori had reportedly masterminded the High Court blast in which three more HM militants were still absconding. The absconders, on whose head the National Investigating Agency (NIA) had kept a reward of INR 1 million, included Junaid Akram Malik, brother of Wasim Akram Malik, who has already been arrested, Aamir Kamal alias Kamran and Sheikh Rashid alias Chota Hafiz alias Adil. All three were also reported to be operating in Dachchan, Marwah and Warwan areas of Kishtwar after Delhi High Court blast. Besides Wasim Akram Malik, two more militants Hafiz Aamir Abbas Dev and Abid Hussain have been arrested by the NIA. All three arrested militants were residents of Kishtwar while three absconders were also camping in Kishtwar’s upper reaches. Two foreign militants, who had transported explosive material and reportedly planted the improvised explosive device (IED), were also at large.
