A media report quoting Border Security Force (BSF) and other official sources indicated that, after the successful completion of the Legislative Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Pakistan has revamped its strategy on cross-border terrorism. Reportedly, it has set up a ‘Joint Command Council' of various terrorist groups, and has established approximately 100 launching pads to step up infiltration across the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border. Pakistan has also directed terrorist groups to launch joint attacks on the security forces, after realising the growing ineffectiveness of suicide attacks by individual outfits. Several terrorist groups, including the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Al Badr and Harkat-ul-Jehadi-e-Islami (HuJI), have been brought together to form the 'Joint Command Council' for united action, said the report.

In a major counter-insurgency operation on April 2, the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen’s (HM) ‘chief commander of operations’, Saiful Islam, was killed by a joint team of Border Security Force and Jammu and Kashmir Police. The encounter occurred in close vicinity of Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed’s residence at Nowgam Chowk, on the outskirts of Srinagar. Cash worth Rupees 9.3 million, an AK-56 rifle and a pistol were recovered from the slain ‘commander’, who had replaced Hizb rebel Abdul Majeed Dar as "chief of operations" in January 2002. As reported earlier, Dar was killed on March 23 in Sopore. A media report quoting Hizb sources said security agencies tracked down Saiful when he used a satellite telephone. He was reportedly in conversation with Hizb "supreme commander" Syed Salahuddin from the house of one Mohammad Altaf at Gulzar Lane Chhanapora, on the outskirts of Srinagar. Nowgam Chowk is half-a-kilometer from residence of Chief Minister Sayeed. Prior to his elevation as the ‘chief commander’, next only to Syed Salahuddin, Saiful Islam had functioned as ‘divisional commander’ in south Kashmir for seven years. When Salahuddin removed Abdul Majeed Dar and some ‘divisional commanders’ loyal to him in January 2002, Saiful Islam was installed ‘chief commander of operations’.

The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police on April 10 arrested a ‘district commander’ of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) group, who is alleged to have planned the March 23-massacre of 24 Kashmiri Pandits (descendants of Brahmin priests) at Nadimarg village, Pulwama district. State Director General of J&K Police A K Suri said in Srinagar that the terrorist, identified as Zia Mustafa alias Arbaz alias Abdullah Omar, was a resident of Rawalakote in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Suri said Mustafa had planned the massacre at the instructions of ‘divisional commander’ Abu Omair, who reportedly had orders from his top leadership to avenge the killing of Muslims during the 2002 riots in the western Indian State of Gujarat. Quoting from revelations made by the detainee, Suri said the slain ‘district commander" of LeT, Abu Noman of Pakistan, had convened a meeting of his cadres on the directions of the ‘divisional commander’ in December 2002. At the meeting, it was decided to attack activists of Hindu rightist organisations, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), besides Hindu temples all over India. The Lashkar commanders, according to Suri, had been directed to set-up hideouts at the residences of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, Congress party and National Conference leaders in the Valley. Houses of local Police, military and paramilitary officials were also supposed to be used as hideouts. In addition to being the ‘district commander’, Mustafa had also been operating as the ‘financial chief’ in Anantnag.

He added, "The charge is bundle of lies... We assure Kashmiri Pandits that we are not involved in the killing, as per the principles of Islam.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has said that the proscribed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) have been at the forefront of "terrorist attacks" in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and their violent activities would only "prolong" the resolution of the Kashmir issue. "During the last decade, the nature of the conflict has changed as a result of the armed incursions of militants across of the Line of Control (LoC). Terrorist organisations including LeT, JeM and HuM have been at the forefront of terrorist attacks in the restive state and violence will never resolve the Kashmir issue, it will only get prolonged," he said in an interview to the Lahore-based Friday Times. Blair added that ending infiltration is essential to stopping violence in J&K.

In a major counter-insurgency operation, security forces (SFs) killed 14 terrorists in Surankote area of Poonch district, on April 22. An SF personnel was also killed in the encounter, which was continuing when reports last came in, as at least four more terrorists were still trapped in the area.

These sources added that, the terrorists, including some ‘commanders’ of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), were engaged in "crucial parleys" in the hills of Hill Kaka to intensify activities in the Pir Panjal range. Most of the slain terrorists were reported to be foreign mercenaries of LeT and JeM groups. An unspecified quantity of arms and ammunition was also recovered from the encounter-site. A media report indicated that, with the latest incident, SFs in Poonch district alone had killed 43 terrorists in the current month.

A group of fidayeen (suicide terrorists) attacked the local station of All India Radio in Srinagar on April 26. Three terrorists and two security force (SF) personnel were killed and eight others injured in the encounter that ensued. According to official sources, the incident took place when an explosive-laden car drove to the gate of the heavily barricaded station and exploded, apparently triggered by remote control. The driver and a SF personnel nearby were killed instantly. Two terrorists, who reportedly got off the car a safe distance away and took shelter in a mosque nearby, hurled grenades and began firing from automatic rifles. The SF personnel guarding the complex, which also houses the Doordarshan Kendra, returned the fire. The Quick Reaction Team of the Border Security Force (BSF) rushed to the spot and encircled the two terrorists who had come out of the mosque. The two terrorists were killed in the encounter. Later, a spokesperson of the, Al-Madeena Regiment called up a local news agency and claimed responsibility for the attack. The outfit also claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on BSF headquarters at Bandipora on April 25. Condemning the attack, the Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, said by stepping up violence, especially when the peace process has been initiated, the terrorists and their mentors had demonstrated their obvious designs to thwart restoration of normalcy. He said, "it is our solemn pledge to the people to restore peace with dignity in the State and we would continue to work for it with the people's support".
