Two top militants of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), including a ‘deputy divisional commander’, were killed by the Security Forces (SFs) after an encounter at Thanola in the Arnas area of Reasi District in the afternoon of January 10, reports Daily Excelsior. The slain militants were identified as Irfan Mushtaq alias Command (call sign 17), a ‘deputy divisional commander’ of HM and a resident of Lar in Gulabgarh and Ibrar alias Abu Ubaida (call sign 04), a resident of Thanola. An Army Subedar and a Special Police Officer (SPO) were injured in the operation while two civilians, who had been taken hostage by the militants, were safely rescued. Official sources said the SFs launched a joint search operation at Thanola following an information that two HM militants had taken shelter in village Kangri, about 10 kilometres from Arnas, at 1 pm (IST). On observing movement of the SFs, the militants took shelter in a village Mosque. When Army and Police personnel asked the militants to come out and surrender, the militants lobbed two grenades towards the SFs. The SFs didn’t retaliate to maintain sanctity of the holy religious place. Finding themselves trapped, the militants took two civilians from the mosque as hostage and fled towards upper reaches of Kangri. The SFs chased and engaged them in an encounter. After the hostages were rescued, both militants were shot dead by the SFs in the gun-battle, Inspector General of Police Jammu Ashok Gupta said. Recoveries made from the possession of slain militants included one new type of foldable rifle of AK series with 60 rounds, one AK-47 rifle with 41 rounds, one mobile telephone, a UBGL and a Chinese grenade, one I Com radio set, one solar charger and INR 50,000 in cash.

A series of three powerful blasts followed by heavy gunfight in a brazen suicide mission, apparently planned to target the US Consulate in Peshawar, left eight persons dead and 18 others injured in Peshawar, the provincial capital of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), in the afternoon of April 5, according to The News. A suicide bomber hit one Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) parked on the entrance to the Hospital Road, which hosts the US Consulate General as well as several offices of the Pakistan Army around 1.20 pm (PST). “The first suicide bomber exploded his car near the APC at the entry point to the Hospital Road after which unknown number of attackers coming in a double cabin pick-up drove towards the gate of the US Consulate while opening fire,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP)-Operations Karim Khan said. The Deputy City Police Chief said another suicide bomber blew himself up hardly 20 feet away from the main gate of the US Consulate on the Hospital Road after the attackers failed to enter the building. He said the gate of the consulate was partially damaged in the blast. Those killed included two Frontier Crops officials, one Frontier Reserved Policeman and two passers-by, while three bodies could not be identified. According to SSP-Operations, around 20 kilograms of explosives were used in the first suicide attack while around 100 kilograms were used in the second one outside the main gate of the consulate. He was not sure about the nature of the third blast. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in reaction to the US drone attacks.

An Army trooper was killed and another injured in a gun battle with militants holed up in the forest area of Handwara in the Kupwara District on April 8, reports Daily Excelsior. Acting on a tip off about presence of militants, Security Forces (SFs) launched a search operation in the forests of Kramhour-Rajwar in Handwara. During the operation the troops came under heavy firing from the militants in which two soldiers were injured. One of the injured soldiers later succumbed to injuries. Three to four militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including the most wanted ‘commander’ of the outfit, Abdullah Uni, are believed to be holed up in the forest area. The militants were already operating in the hinterland of the Valley and were not infiltrators. However, intelligence sources said Uni, a Pakistani national, might have been on his way back to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Uni is the top ranked LeT ‘commander’ in North Kashmir and has managed to escape the dragnet of SFs at least five times in the last five to six months. He is considered to be the brain behind all the major attacks on SFs and Police informers in Sopore and adjoining areas over the past couple of years.

A group of militants is reported to have intruded into the Indian Territory, taking probably for the first time Gurdaspur (Punjab) route, in the night of April 18, reports Daily Excelsior. However, two of them were trapped by Police and Security Force (SF) personnel at Chabe Chak Nursery along Ujh River under the jurisdiction of Rajbagh Police Station, about eight kilometres from Jammu-Pathankot national highway, in the Kathua District in the evening of April 19. The militants opened firing on Police personnel before taking shelter inside the Nursery, about 400 meters away from the populated area of village Chabe Chak. Retaliation by Police left one of the militants injured. While only two militants have been spotted so far, Police didn’t rule out the possibility of some more militants having succeeded in infiltrating into this side but maintained that at no other place movement of the intruders has been observed. “We have surrounded entire Chabe Chak Nursery, spread in 400 kanals of land, along Ujh River. Besides, entire village, where the militants were hiding, and surrounding areas leading to Jammu-Pathankote national highway have been sealed. People have been advised to observe extreme restraint while venturing out of their houses with confirmed presence of two militants,” said Senior Superintendent of Police (Kathua) Gareeb Dass. Official sources said there was a strong possibility that the militants had intruded into this side from forward village of Simbal Skole in the Bamial sector of Gurdaspur District of Punjab where Pakistan troops resorted to heavy firing at 10.20pm in the night of April 18 and damaged border fencing in 400 meters of area by firing rockets. Another possibility was that the militants had infiltrated through Tinda Post in Paharpur area of Hiranagar sector but there was no visible evidence of intrusions as the fencing was in tact, sources said. According to sources, the group of militants included some activists of Dashmesh Regiment of the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) besides Pakistani militants. While the KZF militants were reported to have left for Punjab, the Pakistani militants intruded into Kathua District.
