A report by a web news agency ‘Indo-Asian News Service’ on February 4 has indicated that a new terrorist outfit, comprising thousands of Pakistani Taliban fighters airlifted by Pakistan following the siege of Afghan town of Kunduz, may step up violence in Jammu and Kashmir in the coming weeks and months. The outfit, Shoora-e-Furqan’ (Assembly of Believers) would reportedly be based in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and is likely to step up violent activities to prove that Jehad in Kashmir was not dead, said the report. While approximately 5,000 Taliban and Al Qaeda cadres were reportedly airlifted from Kunduz by Pakistan in November- December 2001, the report quoted sources as saying that the number was "much higher". According to "a source in Kabul close to assassinated Northern Alliance Commander Ahmed Shah Masood", there were between 25,000 to 30,000 Taliban, Pakistani and Al Qaeda fighters at Kunduz at that time. "While about 6,000 of them surrendered, Pakistani military aircraft evacuated the others", this source told the news agency, adding it was a "day and night operation which continued for several days" and could not have taken place without the knowledge of US forces. The evacuation of these fighters could "substantially increase terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir", said the report.

The Commission appointed by the Jammu and Kashmir government to probe into the death of several civilians in firing by security forces at Haigam in Baramulla district and Maisuma near Srinagar in February 2001 has exonerated the forces and justified the firing on the protesters. The two incidents occurred on February 14 and 16. While five civilians were killed in the firing on the protestors in Haigam, a civilian was killed and 30 others injured when military intelligence personnel fired on protestors at Maisuma. Minister of State for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, Mushtaq Ahmed Lone, on March 7, tabled the report of the inquiry commission – headed by Justice OP Sharma, Judge J&K High Court – in the State Legislative Assembly. The report justified the firing by security personnel and declared, "lack of adequate Civil Power to clear the road blockade at the Highway by the residents of Haigam and adjoining villages and to restore the only lifeline between Srinagar and Uri lead to the incident." The report also said that refusal of the crowd at Haigam to give safe passage to the Army Convoy "became immediate cause of the firing as Army convoy is the soft target of the militants" and added that the crowd also spurned the request of the convoy Commander and Major Chandan Jha to lift the blockade. "Since, the demonstrators resisted the use of physical force and even cane charge had no effect on them firing became necessary," the Commission observed. Charging the crowd under section 341 and 342 of Ranbir Penal Code for unlawful assembly and blocking the road traffic in spite of prohibitory orders, Justice Sharma, in his report said "the crowd did a criminal offence." The report also states that the cause of commotion was "sudden fire by someone out of the crowd which lead to the panic reaction and the members of Quick Reaction team apprehending danger opened fire." On the Maisuma incident in which Havaldar Harvinder Singh was named, the Commission was of the view that Havaldar Singh "had no option but to fire and in doing so he did not use excessive force." The report added that "…the force used by him was minimum to restore order considering the fact that crowd was violating the Prohibitory order besides being guilty of rioting which is an offence punishable under Section 148 of Ranbir Penal Code."

Quoting Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) police sources, media reports, on April 7 said six suspected Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) terrorists, including one of its self-styled ‘operational chief’ and a ‘political leader’ were arrested by the security force (SF) personnel in Jammu. The latter gathered the information regarding their presence in the city through the confessions made by Varinder Sharma, an accused booked under Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) by the State police for his alleged involvement in trans-border smuggling and acting as a conduit to terrorist outfits. J&K Director General of Police (DGP) A.K. Suri reportedly said with these terrorists were responsible for the January Kanak Mandi blast case in which one was killed and 12 were injured and the Jammu Railway Station blast of June 2001. With these arrests the J&K police claims to have solved these cases. All these terrorists have been booked under POTA.

According to media reports of April 21 quoting General Officer Commanding (GOC) Victor Force, R S Jamwal, approximately 150 civilians have been killed by terrorists in south Kashmir since November 2001 branding them counter-insurgents. However, the civilians killed in this manner had nothing to do with counter-insurgency operations. He said, ‘After getting each case investigated through our own sources, we were shocked to see that most of the civilians killed were innocent’. He also said ‘Information gathered by us through different sources indicates that there are about 500 militants from different outfits, including the Pakistan-based JeM and LeT and the pro-Pakistan HM , active in Anantnag, Pulwama and Badgam districts’.

Separate reports of April 22 quoting the Dubai-based Gulf News said Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, including LeT, JeM and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), are believed to be imparting training to their cadres in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and these cadres are subsequently sent to Afghanistan. These outfits are reportedly planning a ‘new effort’ to carry out Jehad aimed mainly at restoring the Taliban back to power in some parts of Afghanistan. The JeM is also believed to be carrying out a recruitment drive in the towns of Pakistan’s Punjab province and dispatching the new recruits for training to camps based mainly in PoK the report added.

Terming Pakistan as an ‘epicentre of Islamic fundamentalism’, the Defence Ministry’s annual report, released in New Delhi on May 13, said that there was no decline in infiltration of terrorists and arms across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. Despite the January 12, 2002 speech by the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, in which he resolved to put down terrorism with a heavy hand, evidence showed that Pakistan was not prepared to abandon its policy of confrontation, violence and deception towards India, the Defence report said. Accusing Pakistan of being the primary source of supply of arms and ammunition to terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, the report said that Pakistan also continued its policy of sponsoring terrorism in other parts of India. Its action against the terrorist groups, therefore, appeared to be cosmetic and revealed the double standards of the military regime.

Apprehending a rise in cross-border infiltration of terrorists in the run up to the State Legislative Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, due in October 2002, the Army is reportedly installing more Israeli sensors and thermal imagers on the Line of Control (LoC). Official sources said hand held thermal imagers with a capability of ‘seeing’ 5km across the LOC during night had been deployed after undergoing successful field trials in Kupwara, Gurez, Uri, Poonch, Bhimbar gali, Mendhar, Rajouri and in the plains of Jammu. With the deployment of such highly sophisticated systems, the Army has improved its terrorism-kill ratio significantly, said official sources.

A report in Daily Excelsior quoting official sources indicated that approximately 5,000 terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir were present at various camps in Pakistan. A majority of these terrorists hailed from the Valley, while 10 to 15 per cent belonged to the sensitive Rajouri and Poonch districts. The report indicates that the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, has had to shift the Kashmiri terrorists from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to certain areas in Pakistan Punjab and North West Frontier Province (NWFP) after the May 14-Kaluchak massacre near Jammu. These details, the report says, are mostly based on revelations made by some captured terrorists in the course of their interrogation in recent days. More than 1,000 terrorists had reportedly been shifted to a location in Pakistan Punjab near the Haripur-Taxila Road (HTR). Those shifted to the HTR section were drawn from four major groups––the Harkat ul-Jihad-i-Islami (HuJI), Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM), Al-Barq and Al-Umar. Intelligence inputs, according to the report, revealed the presence of 1,500 to 2,000 Kashmiri terrorists in North West Frontier Province (NWFP). Most of them owe allegiance to the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM).
