Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu Zone) Dilbagh Singh as saying that four militants from Hindu community have been killed during the two-decade-long militancy in Jammu and Kashmir. "So far four Hindu militant commanders of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen [HM] - Uttam Singh alias Saifullah, Kuldeep Kumar alias Kamran and Subash Chander Shaan and Bipin Kumar - were killed in 22 years long militancy in Jammu and Kashmir," Dilbagh Singh said. But, he rebutted claims of HM that a large number of Hindus picked up guns due to ideological conviction. "I did not see any ideological conviction in all these cases (Hindus boys joining militancy). I have gone through cases of 3 to 4 militants (Hindus) who have been killed. It is all absurd. Most of them forcibly picked up or were fascinated by power of gun," he asserted. The official argued, "If gun can fascinate Muslim boys, it can fascinate Hindu boys as well... When they lift guns, they feel empowered, and womanising, extortion and dictating people become part of their life."

National Investigation Agency (NIA) has put All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani under the scanner, following investigations of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) funding for separatists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The NIA has filed a charge sheet saying that a key aide of Geelani had supplied INR 45.7 million of slush funds from the ISI in Pakistan to the separatists in J&K for secessionist and terror activities. Sources in the Home Ministry say that though NIA has not named Geelani as an accused in their charge sheet, a "further probe" is on into his role. The main accused in the charge sheet is Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, whom the NIA has identified as the "legal advisor" of the APHC-G and Geelani's close aide. Three other J& K residents - Mohd Siddiqui Ganai, Ghulam Jilani Lilo and Farooq Ahmed Dagga - were charge sheeted last week too. NIA has also identified a Hizb-ul-Mujahedeen (HM) ‘commander’ in Pakistan, Maqbool Pandit, who the NIA claims sent INR 45.7 million since 2008 from Pakistan to a contact of Bhat in Delhi by Hawala. This is the same case in which Delhi Police special cell sleuths had waylaid Geelani near the Delhi Airport on March 1, and had questioned him on his links with Bhat. Geelani was then trying to leave for Srinagar without heeding to a request from the Delhi Police to meet them in connection with this case.

A close aide of All Parry Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani is among four persons charge sheeted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with alleged hawala racket used to channelise money to terrorists of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) in the Kashmir Valley, reports PTI on August 3. The chargesheet names Ghulam Mohammed Bhat, Geelani’s aide, along with three other accomplices, including Mohd Sidiq Ganai, who had allegedly collected over INR 4.57 crore during a period of three years from January, 2008 through hawala channels from Pakistan for promoting "terrorist" activities in the valley. "The investigation has disclosed that four arrested accused acted as a gang and indulged in unlawful activities pursuant to criminal conspiracy and mobilised/raised funds for terrorist activities and thereby they committed offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act," said the NIA in its 17-page charge sheet. The chargesheet said that "funds through hawala channels were being sent to Jammu and Kashmir for funding terror and secessionist acts in the state and Pakistan-based Maqbool Pandit, a member of banned Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, and Aizaz Maqbool Bhat, at present living in Saudi Arabia, were the key accused behind it." Special judge H S Sharma took the charge sheet on record for taking cognizance and issuing summons to the accused who are at present lodged in Tihar jail in New Delhi. IBN Live adds the special cell of Delhi police, on January 22, had arrested Srinagar-based lawyer Ghulam Mohammed Bhat, Mohd Sidiq Ganai, Ghulam Jeelani Liloo and Farooq Ahmed Dagga from a place in Jammu and Kashmir on a tip off that they were allegedly carrying hawala money for fomenting terror activities in the valley. It had also recovered INR 21.20 lakh hawala money from them. The charge sheet said investigation revealed that "huge consignments" of funds have been collected at various places in Delhi and one of accused Mohd Sidiq Ganai was in touch with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) operatives Major Iqbal, an accused wanted in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, and Colonel Abdullah. Ganai, who has been identified as an active member of People's League, a constituent of APHC-G, had gone to Pakistan in 1998 through Wagah border on Indian travel document and returned via Nepal on a Pakistani passport.

APHC-M chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq threatened violent protests across Kashmir if the restrictions imposed on the separatist leaders continued. Mirwaiz, while addressing a press conference at his residence, said that he would be forced to ask people to come on streets and lodge protests. "There are curbs on people and protests against the human rights violations in the Valley are not allowed," he alleged, and asserted, "Our programmes have been peaceful so far and people have been following the same. But the situation is going out of control and peoples' anger has crossed all the limits. I believe there would be violence and agitation if the people are not allowed to register their protest in a peaceful manner." He also supported the strike call given by APHC-G chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani against the killing of Nazim Rashid. "I am not in favour of strikes but protest in the form of strike is the last resort in Kashmir," he added.

The IGP also announced that that in the aftermath of August 3 arrest of a LeT militant Mushtaq Ahmed alias Mustafa alias Master of Budhan in Reasi District from Belicharana in Jammu, Police have decided to conduct a census and prepare data of all the people living in ‘unauthorized colonies’, including Belicharana, in Jammu and its outskirts. "We have decided to conduct a census and prepare data of all the people, mostly migrants of Rajouri, Poonch, Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar etc putting up in unauthorized colonies’’, he said, arguing, “If one militant can hide in unauthorized basties, I don’t rule out the possibility of more militants having taken shelter in some colonies.’’ He pointed out militant attack of Ragunath temple was planned at Rajouri and Poonch but executed from Qasim Nagar basti, where the militants had dumped arms, ammunition and explosives. He, however, conceded that there were no organised training camps for militants in any part of Jammu and local recruits in Kishtwar (now killed or arrested) had been trained by the militants while working with them.

Army on August 4 warned of the possibility of terrorists attempting to disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir especially in view of the upcoming Independence Day (August 15), reports PTI. "There is a need to be more vigilant in view of the possibility of terrorists attempting to disrupt the existing peace in the Region, especially during the coming days on account of the Independence Day," said the Security Advisor to the Jammu and Kashmir Government and General Officer Commanding (GOC, White Knight Corps) Lieutenant General J P Nehra. He said, "The downward slide in terrorism should not lull us into complacency as the intentions of terrorists and their infrastructure across the LoC is still intact." DNA reports that militants have resorted to old tricks of soft target killings to instill fear among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. According to officials, over two dozen civilians have been killed by militants in 2011 in the State. Data given by Police says at least 19 civilians have been killed by militants so far in valley alone. Sopore tops the list with five followed by Srinagar and Kupwara with four killings each. Ganderbal has witnessed two civilian killings so far. So far, Baramulla, Shopian, Awantipora and Budgam have witnessed one killing each. “We are comfortably placed in terms of militancy on all parameters except for civilian deaths. Last year the number was 22 and this year it is 23. There is marked decline in all the parameters. Like I said there is no room for complacency,” said Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. “There seems to be no logic to these killings by militants which have happened in a series. Actually they are under tremendous pressure after their leadership has been eliminated,” said an unnamed top Police officer.

Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda on August 5 said that situation is improving in the State, Daily Excelsior reported. "There are big success on the counter insurgency and counter infiltrations. There is a decrease of 70 per cent in militancy related incidents in Jammu region as well as decrease in the number of operating militants. But, efforts (to infiltrate) are being made from across the border and instructions are being given to the militants to engineer infiltrations. There have been several attempts of infiltration along the border in Kashmir. These attempts are aimed to push more and more militants to this side before passes get closed.” "There are varying numbers (of militants staged on launching pads for infiltrations in J&K). Some guesses have been in the range of 300 (militants)," he said. To a question that how many militants have sneaked in 2011, he said, "This can never be confirmed. But they (sneaking militants) are down than last year.” Also, maintaining that the situation was well under control in the Kashmir valley, he said there are elements interested in fomenting trouble to keep the pot boiling in the region. "Situation is well under control. There are some people, interested elements for obvious reasons, (who want to create trouble in Kashmir again)," Khoda said. "The elements who have been operating for more than the past 20 years are not still gone, they get funding from outside. Their job is to keep the pot boiling. One has to understand clearly that Kashmir is a conflict zone. It is not that terrorism is over. In any conflict zone, there will be some problem and we have to deal with these problems very effectively," he added.

We have launched a manhunt and they will be arrested soon,” Latifi said. Also, two counter insurgents, Bashir Ahmad and Shakeel Ahmad, working with the Police have also reportedly gone missing along with the two SPOs.

Chairman of All Party Hurriyat Conference- Mirwaiz (APHC-M), Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said on August 12 that New Delhi would be responsible for repercussions in case Parliament Attack (2001) convict Muhammad Afzal Guru was executed, reports Greater Kashmir. He stated, “If they went ahead it will not only render dialogue process meaningless but also worsen the situation here. On one hand you (New Delhi) talk of dialogue with Pakistan and Kashmiris, confidence building measures and removing trust deficit, but on other your Home Ministry recommends rejection of mercy petition of Afzal Guru. Do you think people will behave as mute spectator to your act? Need of hour is to do justice in the case”.

We are vehemently advocating more CBMs and new initiatives for wider and closer cross border relationship,” he said.

Kashmiri separatist Ghulam Nabi Fai, who has been charged with being an undeclared agent of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) in the US, was also a director of a UK-based organisation, promoting Pakistani interest on Kashmir, a Daily Telegraph report said, according to Times Now. Fai, who heads the Washington-based Kashmiri American Council (KAC), is also a director of the Justice Foundation based in Bloomsbury, which hosted events for British Members of Parliament (MPs) to promote Pakistani interests on Kashmir, using millions of dollars of covert funding. "MPs hosted events in Parliament for an organistation which has been accused of being a front for Pakistani spies, it can be disclosed," it reported. The executive director of the foundation in London is Nazir Ahmad Shawl. The foundation hosted Maulana Fazlur Rehman, whose party the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) is said to have links to the Taliban, during a controversial visit to Britain in 2010. US prosecutors claim that three "Kashmir Centers" in Washington, London and Brussels, are run on behalf of "elements of the Pakistani government, including Pakistan's military intelligence service, the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency (ISI)."

Several outlawed Pakistan-based terror groups remain active in Kashmir and continue to target and plan attacks on India, a US report on global terrorism said, according to Indian Express. Prominent among these terrorist groups are Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Harkat ul-Mujahideen (HuM), which are having hundreds of armed supporters in Kashmir. LeT, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation in 2001, is one of the largest and most proficient of the traditionally Kashmir-focused militant groups. "It has the ability to severely disrupt already delicate regional relation," said the State Department in its annual report on terrorism. The actual size of LeT is unknown, but it has several thousand members in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Pakistan's Punjab and in southern Jammu, Kashmir, and Doda regions. "Most LeT members are Pakistanis or Afghans and/or veterans of the Afghan wars. The group uses assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, explosives, and rocket-propelled grenades," the State Department said. LeT maintains a number of facilities, including training camps, schools, and medical clinics in Pakistan. It has global connections and a strong operational network throughout South Asia, the State Department said. Based in Muzaffarabad, Rawalpindi, and several other cities in Pakistan, HuM conducts insurgent and terrorist operations primarily in Kashmir and Afghanistan. It trains its militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation in 1997, HuM has conducted a number of operations against Indian troops and civilian targets in Kashmir. HuM has several hundred armed supporters located in PoK, and southern parts of Kashmir, Doda regions, and in the Valley. "Supporters are mostly Pakistanis and Kashmiris, but also include Afghans and Arab veterans of the Afghan war," the report said, adding that it uses light and heavy machine guns, assault rifles, mortars, explosives, and rockets. JeM, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation in 2001, has at least several hundred armed supporters – including a large cadre of former HuM members – located in Pakistan, southern Kashmir and Doda regions and in the Valley.

It is a good thing. In the past one-month, whatever two or three operations have been conducted, we have seen that the information is coming voluntarily from the affected people. It is not that we are purchasing information or we are procuring information. That shows the people are also not very happy with the state of affairs of some misguided elements,” said Ramesh.

At least 12 militants and a 26-year-old Army officer were killed in a fierce gunfight on the Line of Control (LoC) in Bandipora District on August 20. Defence spokesman Lt. Col. J.S. Brar said it was the eighth infiltration attempt from across the LoC this year and the largest so far. “Today [Saturday] morning around 1 a.m., our alert troops on the Line of Control near Bagtor village in the Gurez Sector of Bandipora district intercepted a group of terrorists trying to infiltrate from the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. They were trying to cross the Kishanganga in a pneumatic boat. At many places, the river is the de facto Line of Control.” “This is certainly a new development. The terrorists were also carrying an inflatable five-man dinghy. They were intercepted, and a heavy exchange of gunfire ensued. When they tried to come ashore, six of them were killed and they fell into the river. Six more were killed near the shore. Five AK rifles, one pistol, two boats, 50 assorted grenades, two radio sets, two compasses and one Global Positioning System were recovered till reports last came in,” Col. Brar said. In the gunfight, a Lieutenant was killed. “... we lost a gallant officer, Lieutenant Navdeep Singh, besides injury to two of our jawans [soldiers],” he said.

"We have so far killed 12 to 13 commanders of Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e- Mohammad this year. The level of desperation in the militant groups is high as their leadership has been wiped out," Gen Hasnain he said on August 21. General Hasnain said, "There is no intelligence communication with the Army from across the border but we have different resources for intelligence."

"Whenever we get success on certain routes on LoC against infiltration attempts, those routes get blocked and the terrorists are pushed in from other routes," Hasnain said.

General Officer Commanding (GOC, 15th Corps) Syed Atta Muhammad Hasnain said that militants are desperate and they will make more infiltration attempts in next two months before the mountain peaks get closed with fresh snowfall of the season. He said that there are around 500-700 militants waiting at the launching pads in PoK to infiltrate. "The militant infra-structure across the border is still intact and the militants are desperate to infiltrate into Kashmir," he added. He said that the security forces eliminated around 20 top ‘commanders’ of various militant organizations especially of the LeT in past two months. "After receiving severe blow, they want to push in more militants to disturb peace in the Valley,” he said, adding, “Security Forces are targeting the leadership of JeM and LeT and our intelligence this year has been extremely good. It is because of this that we achieved major successes this year and their desperation to infiltrate has increased."

Indian troops retaliated leading to exchange of firing that continued for more than 40 minutes. There were no casualties on Indian side in firing from Pakistan side.

Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik was the next target for assassination in Kashmir, said Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) in its report that unveils the elaborate conspiracy behind the April 8, 2011 killing of the Wahhabi cleric Maulana Showkat Shah, according to Tehelka. The outfit revealed that it learnt this from one of its militants who had spent time in jail with Javed Munshi, the alleged killer of Shah, before being recently released. Lashkar identifies the militant as Muhammad Imran alias Abu Qatal. “In jail Munshi told Imran that they had killed Maulana Showkat Sahib as he was hand in glove with India. He also told him that some other separatist leaders had also joined India — Yasin Malik being one among them — and that they would kill them also,” the Lashkar report says, adding, “Munshi also told Imran that if the latter went back to Pakistan he should tell Hafiz Saeed [Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief] not to offer funeral prayers for the separatist leaders killed by militants in Kashmir as they were traitors and LeT shouldn’t support them”. JuD chief Hafiz Saeed had condemned the killing of Shah and led Nimaz-i-jinaza for him in Islamabad. Lashkar blamed the militant outfit Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen for planning and executing Shah’s assassination and also for unsuccessfully trying to involve LeT in the act. It has identified four people Javed Munshi, Nisar Ahmad, both of them now arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir Police and Abu Umair and Shiekh Jameel-ur-Rehman, the latter two based in Muzaffarabad (Pakistan). Significantly, the outfit thinks that the direction to kill Shah could have been issued from Pakistan.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced an amnesty package for nearly 1,200 youths arrested during 2010 summer agitation in Kashmir valley. Omar said that the amnesty is for all those booked on charges of stone pelting, except for those involved in cases of arson during the agitation. "This would be first and last chance for them as we are not going to tolerate their actions in future", he added. "The cases of youth involved in arson would be reviewed if the situation remained normal and no unfortunate incidents are reported," he asserted. Times of India quoted him as saying, "(However,) the cutoff date for amnesty is today. We cannot do it again. Anyone arrested till today on stone-pelting charges can avail this amnesty." All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani had earlier set a deadline of Eid-ul-Fitr for the release of all those involved in 2010 summer unrest. The Government had, earlier in the week, released 12 political prisoners, including two close aides of Geelani.

Responding to a question about rehabilitation policy of militants who are willing to return from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), Omar said the Governments of Pakistan and PoK are acting as stumbling blocks for this policy. "As of now we have received 900 applications from persons who wish to come back... Modalities for the return of these people are being worked out in close consultation with Government of India. The picture would become clear once this whole process is completed," he said. On Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), the Chief Minister said that it applied to various off-shoots of militancy and not alone on alleged human rights violations by SFs. "The Commission can become a reality only when the Governments of India and Pakistan agree on it. The TRC has to be applied on both sides of LoC [Line of Control] and it cannot be one sided. Issues like disappearances, half-widows, people leaving the Valley and why did militancy start have to be covered under TRC. This would give a better understanding of the situation and it would lend meaning to TRC," he asserted. He also informed that Government has framed a policy under which it would be ensured that relatives of militants are not put to any trouble.

This was for the fourth consecutive Friday this month when stone-pelting incidents were witnessed in the Nowhatta area. Police said the stone pelters have of late been using motorcycles to throw stones at Security Forces (SFs) and fled away quickly. "The typical practice is that such bikes carry three people, one rides the bike, the man in the middle has stones in his lap and the one at the back hurls them at the security forces. And they move at a menacing speed," Police said. The Nowhatta Police Station was the main target of the stone pelters in summer agitation in 2010.

Firdous Ahmed Dar along had admitted having received INR 15 million through cross-LoC route of Uri-Muzaffarabad. Of this amount, he had distributed INR 300000 to Aiyaz Akbar, the spokesman of APHC-G and a trusted lieutenant of its chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, in three equal installments of INR 100000 each.

Jammu and Kashmir Government is all set to bypass Pakistani Government to ensure the return of the youth who had crossed into Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) for arms training in the last 20 years, reports DNA. “We have received 900 applications from those who want to come back. We are in discussion with the Government of India to work out modalities, which obviously I can’t share in public domain, as to how we can facilitate the return of these people without any sort of support or any assistance from either Government of Pakistan or Government in Muzaffarabad (PoK),” said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

Pakistani troops in the night of August 30 violated the cease-fire by resorting to firing on an Army post in Keran area of Kupwara Sector in Kupwara District, according to Daily Excelsior. The firing was retaliated by the troops and the attempts to push in the militants from across the Line of Control (LoC) were foiled. Defence spokesman Lieutenant Colonel J S Brar said, "It has been a practice from troops from the other side of border to carry out firing on our troops. The latest incident happened last night and our jawans fired back thus forcing the guns from other side to silence." However, a Pakistani Army official Lieutenant Colonel Umar Gul (11 Balouch Regiment) denying that Pakistan Army had resorted to cease-fire violations said recent incidents of firing from Pakistan side could be the handiwork of some militant groups.

The Union Home Ministry has formed two new cells which will focus on effectively dealing with funding of terrorist activities in the country, reports The Times of India. A special attention was being paid for terror funding of separatists and terror groups in Kashmir and the constitution of combating of funding of terrorist (CFT) is a step in this direction, officials said. Besides this, a terror funding and fake currency (TFFC) cell in National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also been constituted to focus on investigating the flow of money into anti-national activities, the officials said. In this context, Minister of State for home Jitendra Singh informed the Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian parliament) that 43 cases of terror funding were registered since 2009 by various state and central probe agencies and that a multi-disciplinary group at the state and central level had been entrusted with the responsibility of enquiring into the sources of funding of Kashmiri terrorists.

All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that he would come out with a protest programme alleging that most of the youth arrested during 2010 summer agitation are yet to be released. "Although some of the youth were released, but most of them remained behind bars. The Government is giving an impression that all the youth have been released, but it is not true. Once the Eid celebrations are over an organized agitation programme would be announced and the same would be made public," Geelani said while addressing people at Eidgah in Sopore.
