Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Zone), S. M. Sahai, informed the media in Handwara that Police had arrested four top wanted militants of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). He said that ‘district commander’ Mushtaq Ahmed Malla alias Furqan was arrested over a specific information. Malla had reportedly been operating as a militant since 1990. His sustained interrogation led to the subsequent arrest of his successor ‘district commander’ Mudassar Shabir Ganai alias Ali alias Illyas, his close associate and HM ‘Financial Chief-cum-Launching Commander’ Nisar Abdullah Malik and ‘area commander’ Pervez Ahmed Wani alias Mubashir alias Saifullah. Sahai stated that the HM had suffered a major setback with the arrest of the four commanders and Police were now looking for the top wanted ‘divisional commander’ Sonaullah Sheikh. He also said that a large number of arms and ammunition including two AK rifles, one pistol, three hand grenades, three mobile phone sets with SIM cards and two fake voter identity cards were recovered from possession of the detained militants.

According to Daily Excelsior, nearly one hundred militants are believed to have infiltrated into the Gurez and Lolab valley in Bandipora-Kupwara belt in the last five weeks. Official sources said that six to eight groups of militants - with as many as 10 to 20 militants in each group - have successfully crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and landed in the Gurez and Lolab valley in Bandipora and Kupwara districts of Kashmir valley since March 1, 2008. "This is a clear indication that in spite of some positive statements from leaders of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Muslim League (N), the terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK [Pakistan occupied Kashmir] is intact and the practice of training and sending fresh guerrilla groups for subversive activities into Jammu and Kashmir is continuing", a senior Police official said. Field reports, corroborated by inputs from different intelligence agencies, have indicated that around 50 militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) have landed in Lolab in the last five weeks. An equal number of infiltrators, believed to have been launched from Athmuqam and other points on the river Neelam in PoK, have reportedly crossed the LoC and landed in the Gurez-Bandipora forest areas.

They (the migrants) were an "integral part of the composite social fabric" of the Valley and their return would address a "major humanitarian concern that has been crying for attention over the years’’, he added.
