A total of nine persons, including five Army personnel, a civilian and three militants were killed and another 10 persons were injured in the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)’s fidayeen (suicide) attack which started on the early hours of February 10 at the Sunjuwan Military Station, close to Jammu City in Jammu District, reports Daily Excelsior. Of five Army fatal casualties, four soldiers, including a Junior Commissioner Officer (JCO), belonged to Kashmir Valley, while another JCO hailed from Hiranagar tehsil of Kathua District in Jammu region. A dead civilian, who happened to be father of one of the soldiers, was also a resident of Kashmir. Official sources said that since 1st Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (JAKLI) had been deployed inside Sunjuwan Military Station, majority of casualties (both dead and injured) hailed from the State. All Army and civilian casualties took place during initial round of firing by the militants, in the morning of February 10. Two soldiers, including one JCO, were killed on February 10, four others, three of them jawans (troopers) and a civilian, succumbed to their injuries in the hospital overnight. While two fidayeens were eliminated on February 10, the third one was killed in wee hours of February 11 morning and since then no gun shots have been heard from any area of Sunjuwan Military Station. However, the Army hasn’t declared the operation as formally over and Para Commandos remained deployed inside the Station, report said. Late in the night (February 11), Army fired mortar shells towards family quarters and surrounding isolated areas to ensure that militants, if any, are neutralized. Operation will be declared as complete only after entire area is sanitized and no further movement of militant(s) is observed. “Sanitization and clearance operations were now in progress. Entire complex was being sanitized to ensure that the militants hadn’t laid any booby trap inside the complex to target Army soldiers and their family members. The movement of the families of jawans and others inside the Military Station would be allowed only when the area is completely sanitized by the Bomb Disposal Squad,” sources said. Hindustan Times adds that the attackers were all Pakistani citizens who had been operating in the Kashmir valley since last year, and had travelled to Jammu just days before the attack, an official said on February 11. “The militants were wearing army combat fatigues and were heavily armed. AK-56 rifles, grenade launchers, grenades and other ammo were recovered from them,” said a security official familiar with the initial probe into the attack. An initial probe suggested the attackers had entered from a spot at the rear of the camp where the boundary was secured only with metal sheets. “One of the attackers, Qari Mushtaq alias Chotu, was active in Tral in south Kashmir. The two others have been identified as Mohammed Adil alias Irfan Bhai, who was operating in Sopore and Pulwama sectors, and Mohammed Khalid Khan alias Rashid Bhai, who was also active in Pulwama,” said the central security official, who asked not to be named. Investigators have found syringes where the militants hid in the camp’s residential quarters before the attack. Suicide attackers have been known to take shots of morphine before launching attacks. Earlier, SATP had reported that two soldiers were killed and nine others were injured in the attack.

Cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)in Kerala are totally discarding mobile phones for communication to prevent investigating agencies to trace their locations or gather information, reports The New Indian Express on December 28. The special teams of Kerala Police have been combing four Districts (Wayanad, Palakkad, Kozhikode and Malappuram) for a while, and have not been able to track the details of the Maoist cadres though they have appeared in public with arms a couple of times.Police officers said that the insurgents have stopped using mobile phones or other digital communication devices with the clear intention of avoiding any sort of tracking by the enforcement agencies. “They are more into using conventional communication methods, such as using human couriers,” said a senior Police officer.Another intelligence officer said that the Maoists have gone back to using longhand notes for communication with their cells. A detailed analysis by agencies based on documents seized from Maoists had found the guidelines issued by the central leadership on the usage of mobile phones and internet. The cadres have been warned against carrying mobile phones or downloading any data using them. They have also been asked to access internet with great caution. All this to avoid the tracking of location by the investigating agencies.
