Five AK rifles, one pistol, two boats, 50 assorted grenades, two radio sets, two compasses and one Global Positioning System were recovered till reports last came in,” Col. Brar said.

Over 35 cadres of the Isack-Muivah and the Khaplang factions of the NSCN were killed on the night of February 24-25 on the Tirap-Myanmar border cadres in the fierce fighting when a 100-strong armed group, trying to enter Tirap from Myanmar's Sagiang division, were ambushed by the rival Khaplang faction, intelligence reports reaching New Delhi said. This was the largest clash in an ongoing conflict between the two groups since December 2010. Both factions are currently in talks with the Centre and have been observing a ceasefire with government forces. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), alarmed at the escalating conflict, wanted the Assam Rifles and the Army to launch an operation to disarm the NSCN cadres of both the factions but so far the Army has resisted the pressure, arguing that these are not banned groups and the clashes should be treated more as a law and order issue than pure insurgency.

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.

Three serial bomb blasts in the span of 10 minutes in the evening of July 13 ripped through three of the busiest hubs in Mumbai city —Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar—, killing 17 people and injuring 131 others, reports Times of India. The first explosion was at 6.54pm at Zaveri Bazaar, followed by another at Opera House a minute later. The third explosion was at 7.06pm outside Kabutarkhana, a few metres from the western side of Dadar railway station. This is the third terror attack at Zaveri Bazaar. The high explosives with timer devices were kept on vehicles at Opera House and Zaveri Bazar while at Dadar a bus stop was the target. The Police said that seven Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were used for the blasts. "There could be at least three groups of bomb planters who kept the bomb and left quietly," said a security official, adding that the IEDs were wrapped in cloth bags and tiffin carriers—the signature of the IM. Sources say that it could be the handiwork of Indian Mujahideen (IM), which recently formed a group called the 313 Squad and has been recruiting youngsters to it.
