In the worst ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, at least 44 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and around two dozen were injured in a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack carried out by suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militant at Lethpora area on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) in Pulwama District on February 14, reports Daily Excelsior. A JeM Fidayeen (suicide attacker), identified as Adil Ahmad Dar alias Waqas Commando (Pulwama resident) rammed an explosive-laden car into the CRPF bus in a convoy near Lethpora in Pulwama District at around 3:15 pm leading to a huge blast in which 44 CRPF personnel were killed and around two dozen injured. The militant was also believed to be killed in the blast. The bus that was targeted belonged to 76th Batallion of CRPF and 44 personnel from 92, 17 and 54 battalions were travelling in it. Another CRPF truck was also blown in the blast and two more buses were damaged with the impact of the blast. Later, JeM claimed the responsibility for the attack. They also released the video of the Fidayeen (Adil Ahmad Dar), recorded before attack in which he said that he had joined “Fidayeen squad” of JeM last year (2018). He talks about attacks carried out by the JeM on troops, Parliament and hijacking of airliner. He also warned more attacks. An official at the spot said that, the militant was driving a vehicle packed with over 100 kg of explosives on the wrong side of the road and hit the bus, in which 39-44 personnel were travelling, head-on. “There are no survivors from the bus,” he said, adding that they were yet to ascertain exactly how many people were on the bus. “It was a large convoy and about 2,500 personnel were travelling in multiple vehicles. Some shots were also fired at the convoy,” CRPF DG R R Bhatnagar said. The attack comes two days after a local intelligence generated an input about possible Fidayeen attack on Security Forces (SFs) in Jammu and Kashmir. The input was generated after JeM issued a threat on social media of carrying out a major blast in the State. “The chatter inputs revealed that JeM outfit has hinted to carry out IED attacks along the routes of security forces across Jammu and Kashmir. A video uploaded by the outfit was also shared with all concerned. It is as such suggested that security forces need to be put on alert to thwart any such attempt by terrorists”, read the input that was shared with the SFs across Jammu and Kashmir. In the video that was uploaded along threat message showed a truck carrying troops in Somalia blown up in a power IED blast. In the message, the JeM had warned similar type of blast in Jammu and Kashmir. A senior security officer said that this is a major security lapse as the input about the possible attack was generated only 48 hours before. He said that the highway is highly guarded and there seems to be a lapse.

Three Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants were killed in an encounter at Pinglish village of Tral in Pulwama District on March 10, report Daily Excelsior. A joint team of Security Forces (SFs) launched cordon and search operation in Pinglish village after reports about presence of three militants in the village including one local Mudasir Ahmad and two foreigners.As the search party reached near the house in which militants were hiding, they were fired upon by militants from inside the house, triggering a gun battle. In the intermittent firing, which continued throughout the day three militants were killed and two bodies of the militants were recovered from the debris of the house along with two AK-47 rifles and one pistol.The identities of the slain militants are yet to be ascertained. The search operation is still going on in the area.The bodies were charred and beyond the recognition as the house where the militants were hiding was set on fire. The New Indian Express adds that the mastermind of the February 14 Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel is believed to have been killed in an encounter at Pinglish village of Tral in Pulwama District on March 10. The encounter in Pinglish area of Tral in south Kashmir's Pulwama District lasted past midnight in which Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Mudasir Ahmed Khan alias 'Mohd Bhai' was among the three militants killed, the officials said.Piecing together evidence gathered so far, security officials said that 23-year-old Khan, an electrician with a graduate degree and a resident of Pulwama, arranged the vehicle and explosives used in the terror strike.A resident of Mir Mohalla of Tral, Khan joined the JeM sometime in 2017 as an over ground worker (OGW) and was later drawn into the terror outfit by Noor Mohammed Tantreyalias 'Noor Trali', who is believed to have helped the terror group's revival in the Kashmir Valley.After Tantray was killed in December 2017, Khan disappeared from his home on January 14, 2018 and has been active since then.
