Ninety four (94) per cent of fresh recruits of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) see Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as a fighting front and hail mostly from Pakistan's Punjab Province from families having links with the powerful army and intelligence network, according to a US report on Military Academy in West Point, Indian Today on April 6. While LeT's recruitment is diversified across the north, central and southern parts of Punjab, the highest concentration of militants have come (in order of frequency) from the Districts of Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Sialkot, Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Khanewal and Multan.LeT training has historically occurred in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir's (PoK) capital Muzaffarabad and in Afghanistan. Together, these two locations have accounted for 75 per cent of LeT militant training over time, the report said. In addition, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Tajikistan and Bosnia are also identified as other fronts. "According to our data, the districts of Kupwara, Baramulla and Poonch in Kashmir account for almost half of all LeT militant deaths since 1989. Kupwara, the district with the largest number of militants killed, appears to be becoming less important overall as a fighting area, with its share of deaths declining over time," the report said.

Syed Salahuddin, the ‘supreme commander’ of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) based militant outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and of ‘chief’ of United Jehad Council (UJC), in an interview to a Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) based news agency said that the outfit will carry out ‘activities’ in the border areas of the State during mass agitations, Rising Kashmir reported on April 7. He said, “UJC sticks to its plans of carrying out its activities in border areas only during the time of mass agitations. We don’t want to provide any kind of opportunity and excuse to forces to attack the innocent and unarmed civilians in the garb of fighting militants. We keep away from civilian areas when people are on the roads.” He added that the abrupt surge in militant activities in Srinagar (Srinagar District) and other towns was to remind the establishment, forces and others that militants were always capable to strike anywhere and anytime. Salahuddin also said that about 120 youth had returned to J&K under Rehabilitation Policy.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) on April 10 filed charge-sheet against three persons, including a Bangladeshi national, for allegedly raising terror fund for the banned outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) through circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports The Times of India. The charge-sheet against the three accused - Badal Sheikh and Fayaz Ahmed (both Indians) and Shafiq-ul (Bangladeshi) -- was filed in the NIA Special Court in Jammu under various sections of the Ranbir Penal Code and the central anti-terror Act.The Court subsequently issued a non-bailable warrant against the absconding Bangladeshi national Shafiq-ul who was key point person of the Indian accused for supplying FICN through a trans-border cattle smuggler Badal Sheikh of Malda District in West Bengal. "In pursuance of the said conspiracy, Fayaz Ahmed Rather - a notorious FICN smuggler - started getting high quality fake Indian currency notes from Malda and circulate it in Jammu and Kashmir", said the NIA.The probe agency had earlier filed charge-sheet against five persons in the case, alleging that the accused used to procure and supply high quality FICN from Bangladesh and smuggle it into J&K for raising funds for the terror group. The five who were charge-sheeted earlier include two HM militants Mubarak Ahmed Bhat and Shafaqat Mohiudding Kucheyand the cattle smuggler Badal Sheikh. NIA had earlier arrested Salim Khan, Badal Sheikh and Fayaz Ahmed in 2012.

Of a dozen persons detained by Bihar Police at Madhubani District along India-Nepal border on April 10, one person, Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, was stated to be close associate of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘supremo’ and United Jehad Council (UJC) ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin, reports Daily Excelsior on April 11. However, they appeared to have fallen apart as Salahuddin was opposed to return plan of Dar. As reported earlier, four militants or former militants along with their wives and children (total 12 persons) were arrested from Harlakhi locality in Madhubani District along the India-Nepal border. The four militants are of Kashmiri origin, but currently are citizens of Pakistan. Official sources identified the militants and their family members Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, a resident of village Udaara in Kupwara District, his Pakistani wife, Amina Bibi and two children Shabir Ahmad Dar, 3 years and Ahsaan Ahmad Dar, 8 months, Firdous Ahmad, a resident of Bandipora District, his Pakistani wife Sabia Bibi, a resident of Shahid Gali, Muzaffarabad [Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK)] and their two children Anjal Ahmad, 4 years and Ansar Ahmad, 2 years, Parvez Ahmad of Bandipora District and Nazir Ahmad of Kupwara District, his Pakistani wife Sumera Bibi and a two years old son Aayan.Nearly 700 former militants had applied for return under the Return and Rehabilitation Policy through their families in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) but all those, who have come back so far, took Nepal route, which was not prescribed in the Policy. Sources said the militants, or former militants, were unable to take these routes due to presence of Pakistani Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on these routes.The Indian Intelligence agencies were also worried that some of the militants, though not active now, could be used by the militants present in the State to revive the dying militancy. Moreover, most of the militants were returning with Pakistani wives, who could also pose a security risk at some stage.

As the focus of security agencies, has been to neutralize the activities of Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) in Sopore town (Baramulla District) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), it is the Kashmir’s oldest militant outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) which can prove to be a bigger threat in the coming times, Deccan Herald reports on April 27. According to sources LeT is receiving major setback due to killing and arrest of its top commanders, the focus of security agencies is likely to shift to HM. Police sources believe that conspiracy for most of the attacks is done in Sopore because it is easier for the militants to receive logistic support locally. HM has built a strong network in Sopore and its adjoining areas. “Hizb has seven Pakistan trained local militants and dozens of over ground workers (OGWs) in the town…Police have little or no knowledge about the activities of HM and its operation chief Qayoom Najar alias Jan sahib,” sources added. An unnamed senior Police officer told that HM has carried out most of the killings of Panchayat (village level local self-government institution) members in north Kashmir in past one year. He described HM as more dangerous than the LeT due to its indigenous character.“People support HM militants more as the outfit draws its cadres primarily from indigenous Kashmiris. Another reason for HM’s resurgence is that it is very close to both the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) in Kashmir and Pakistan due to which it has lot of sources and resources to sustain for a longer time,” he added. The officer said the HM cadres are dedicated and claim to have support within the system. “Jamaat-e-Islami has a strong support base within the police, bureaucracy and judiciary due to which tracking HM militants is tougher than those of LeT,” he claimed.

Sources indicated that there are around 6 trained active militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit are operating in Sopore area of Baramulla District. These militants are being supervised by their top ‘commander’ Qayoom Najar. Sources further added that HM and other militant organizations of late have shifted to Taliban style use of human couriers for communication rather than using cell phone and other communication system. Electronic modes of communication had led to their tracking by security agencies in the past. However, militants also use Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) to communicate, which becomes difficult for security agencies to track. “The LeT (Lashkar-e-Toiba) ‘top commander’ Fahad Ullah was using Skipe (not Skype) to communicate with his handler and LeT commander Hazulla based in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).”
