Police on January 28 killed two Pakistani mercenaries allegedly involved in the January 22 attack on American Centre in Kolkata in Hazaribagh. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on January 28, Union Home Secretary Kamal Pande said the Jharkhand police raided a hideout and in the encounter that ensued, two Pakistani terrorists were seriously injured. Pande said that one of them Mohammad Zahid, in a statement admitted that he was a resident of Khanewala district in Multan and had opened fire at the police personnel guarding the American Centre. Both of them died at hospital. "Further investigations are being carried out but there is hardly any doubt now about the role of Pakistani nationals and Pak-based terrorist ‘tanzeems’ in this case", the Union Home Secretary added. He said a new trend was emerging in terms of the direct involvement of Pakistani nationals in terrorist, espionage and subversive activities in India. Apart from the December 13 terrorist attacks at the Parliament House, there have been at least five cases of subversion and espionage in recent months in which Pakistani nationals were arrested in the country, Pande said. Those arrested admitted during interrogation that they had been sent to India for sabotage and terrorism at the behest of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), he added. Putting together the sequence of events after the January 22 incident, Mr. Pande said the Dubai-based criminal, Farhan Malik alias Aftab Ahmed Ansari, had called up the police and two newspaper offices in Kolkata within a few hours of the shooting and claimed responsibility. It also became known that Farhan Malik operated the terrorist module in conjunction with the Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (HUJI) and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

According to media reports, two terrorists holed up in a village mosque in the Kupwara district freed four civilians, including the Imam (priest) of the shrine, who sought to negotiate their surrender, after keeping them hostage for several hours even as the stand off between terrorists and security forces continued. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police for Kupwara and Baramulla, Mohammad Amin Shah, said the person whom local authorities earlier claimed to be a terrorist and killed in retaliatory action by security forces was in fact a villager who died of cardiac arrest near the besieged Jamia Masjid at Tutigund village on hearing gun shots. He said the stand off between the terrorists, possibly foreigner mercenaries, and the security forces continued as efforts to persuade them to surrender bore no fruits. "We tried our best to see a peaceful end to the crisis and sent in civilians to persuade the ultras to surrender but they refused," Shah added. He also added that efforts were underway to ensure safety of the place of worship and peaceful end to the crisis. This is the second incident of terrorists taking shelter inside a mosque in North Kashmir within five days.
