An Army Subedar and a Special Police Officer (SPO) were injured in the operation while two civilians, who had been taken hostage by the militants, were safely rescued. Official sources said the SFs launched a joint search operation at Thanola following an information that two HM militants had taken shelter in village Kangri, about 10 kilometres from Arnas, at 1 pm (IST). On observing movement of the SFs, the militants took shelter in a village Mosque. When Army and Police personnel asked the militants to come out and surrender, the militants lobbed two grenades towards the SFs. The SFs didn’t retaliate to maintain sanctity of the holy religious place. Finding themselves trapped, the militants took two civilians from the mosque as hostage and fled towards upper reaches of Kangri. The SFs chased and engaged them in an encounter. After the hostages were rescued, both militants were shot dead by the SFs in the gun-battle, Inspector General of Police Jammu Ashok Gupta said.

The Security Forces on April 1 shot dead six top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, including five Pakistanis and a local, after an exchange of fire at Khabra forests near village Raa Bagla in the Taryath area of Rajouri District, reports Daily Excelsior. The slain local militant was identified as Mohammad Aslam alias Qasim, a resident of Thanol, Mahore in the Reasi District. Aslam had been deputed by the LeT outfit to receive the infiltrators and take them safely to Mahore. Recoveries made from the scene of encounter include six AK-47 rifles with 27 magazines and 787 rounds, four UBGL grenades, two HE grenades, 25 Chinese grenades, two satellite telephones with one card, two mobile telephones with two Pak SIM cards, INR 2.30 lakh cash in Indian currency in the denomination of 1000, four compass, three Global Positioning Systems (GPS), one MP3 player, four maps of routes, five I Com wireless sets, drugs, water bottles, 92 batteries and a number of Pakistan made eatables. With this killing, two major groups of militants, who had infiltrated into Indian Territory from Pallanwalla and Nowshera sectors during past fortnight, have almost been neutralised. “A couple of more militants could be there but most of them have been eliminated. Majority of the ultras were dreaded commanders of LeT outfit hailing from Pakistan,” official sources said. The militant groups were reportedly heading towards Gulabgarh and Mahore areas of Reasi District from where they were to be allotted to other areas. Sources said prior to killings, the militant in the night of March 31 went to the house of a Village Defence Committee (VDC) member Raj Kumar at Raa Bagla and asked for food. As the VDC member refused, the militants resorted to firing. The VDC members fired back forcing the militants to flee.

The Security Forces (SFs) on May 19 shot dead two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, identified as Abdullah Aniece alias Ans alias Faisal Hafiz and Abdullah Mohammad alias Abu Maaz, both belonging to Pakistan, in a day long gun-battle at village Joura under the jurisdiction of Gandoh Police Station in Doda District, reports Daily Excelsior. A Special Police Officer (SPO) who sustained injuries in the incident died later. Recoveries made from their possession include one AK-47 rifle, one AK-56 rifle, five AK magazines, one sophisticated wireless set, 48 AK rounds, one IED, two pouches and documents. They had fired a large quantity of ammunition and lobbed explosive devices during the encounter. Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu) Ashok Gupta said that the SFs launched an operation in upper reaches of Joura after developing a specific input about the presence of two Pakistani militants—Ans and Abu Maaz—who had escaped from dragnet of SFs several times in Doda. The encounter ensued when the militants, hiding inside a house, opened fire as the SFs asked them to come out and surrender. In the exchange of fire the two militants were killed. Ans was a ‘deputy divisional commander’ of LeT and was operating in Doda district for last nine years while Maaz was a ‘district commander’ of the outfit and was active in the district during last seven years. Presently, they were co-ordinating activities among left out militants of LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit and were trying to strengthen their cadre with local recruitment. "For the first time in last two decades, Doda District has been cleared from Pakistani militants. Only two surviving foreign ultras in the district have been wiped out’’, IGP Gupta said. "Only 22 listed militants have been left in Doda District and all of them were locals. Entire District is today free from any Pakistani militant, who once ruled the roost in Doda’’, Senior Superintendent of Police (Doda) Parbhat Singh said.
