Security agencies believed that Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Basharat Saleem has been killed by a top ranking commander of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), a senior Police officer said, Daily Excelsior reported on May 2. "Basharat is most likely dead. There are credible inputs that he was killed by HuM militants led by the outfit's commander Noman four to five days back," the officer said added. Basharat was on most wanted list of the security agencies in North Kashmir as he had evaded their dragnet three times since the beginning of 2010. "Basharat was one of the few local militants who rose quickly through the ranks to be among the most powerful ultras in North Kashmir within a short span of time," he added further. The officer said efforts were on to trace the body of the militant.

The arrested Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant-cum-trainer Mohammad Ashraf, has said thousands of misguided Kashmiri youth are still receiving training in camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), ANI reported on May 12. He disclosed that the youths, who were getting training in different militant training camps in PoK wanted to return homes and lead a peaceful life. He further said that neither he nor other militants had any knowledge of the State Government’s proposed rehabilitation policy for them. He confessed to have received training at a militant training camp in Kacharban, PoK. He disclosed that over 2000 militants from this part of the State (Jammu and Kashmir) were active in training camps in PoK though some of them felt disenchanted with the militancy, adds Daily Excelsior. He revealed that all training camps of HM and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) were fully active and were imparting arms training to the militants freely with active co-operation of Pakistan’s Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). He disclosed that LeT and HM were the only two dominant outfits to whom majority of militants were affiliated at present in PoK while Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), once a force to reckon with in Pakistan, has virtually been rendered irrelevant with very few cadre. Only a couple of Jaish training camps were now active in PoK, Ashraf told his interrogators.

To tackle the growing incidents of stone pelting in Kashmir valley, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, under special initiative, have decided to appoint stone pelters as Special Police Officials (SPOs), and entrust them with responsibility of taking on their former stone pelter partners. Police sources said that 85 youths have been appointed as SPOs and deployed in areas, which are most sensitive and infamous for stone pelting. They said that the incidents of stone pelting have considerably decreased after the deployment of stone pelters-turned-SPOs in the area. The State Police says that militant outfits based in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), particularly HM and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) have prepared dozens of groups who are paid to instigate stone pelting in the valley. The Police claimed that these groups are paid between INR 5 lakh and INR 8 lakh, and a portion of this money is supposed to be paid to the stone pelters who pelt stones at Police and para-military troopers.

The Security Forces (SFs) on May 19 shot dead two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, identified as Abdullah Aniece alias Ans alias Faisal Hafiz and Abdullah Mohammad alias Abu Maaz, both belonging to Pakistan, in a day long gun-battle at village Joura under the jurisdiction of Gandoh Police Station in Doda District, reports Daily Excelsior. A Special Police Officer (SPO) who sustained injuries in the incident died later. Recoveries made from their possession include one AK-47 rifle, one AK-56 rifle, five AK magazines, one sophisticated wireless set, 48 AK rounds, one IED, two pouches and documents. They had fired a large quantity of ammunition and lobbed explosive devices during the encounter. Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu) Ashok Gupta said that the SFs launched an operation in upper reaches of Joura after developing a specific input about the presence of two Pakistani militants—Ans and Abu Maaz—who had escaped from dragnet of SFs several times in Doda. The encounter ensued when the militants, hiding inside a house, opened fire as the SFs asked them to come out and surrender. In the exchange of fire the two militants were killed. Ans was a ‘deputy divisional commander’ of LeT and was operating in Doda district for last nine years while Maaz was a ‘district commander’ of the outfit and was active in the district during last seven years. Presently, they were co-ordinating activities among left out militants of LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit and were trying to strengthen their cadre with local recruitment. "For the first time in last two decades, Doda District has been cleared from Pakistani militants. Only two surviving foreign ultras in the district have been wiped out’’, IGP Gupta said. "Only 22 listed militants have been left in Doda District and all of them were locals. Entire District is today free from any Pakistani militant, who once ruled the roost in Doda’’, Senior Superintendent of Police (Doda) Parbhat Singh said.

The trend of women’s recruitment into militant cadre of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) has been checked to quite an extent due to mobilization of elderly people, former Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) members and families of the women by Police and Intelligence agencies in Doda District. ‘‘The trend (of women joining militancy or lending support to the ultras in different forms) has been checked. It has been rather reverse. Police strategy to tactically wean away the women from the ranks of militants has paid off’’, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Jammu Ashok Gupta told Daily Excelsior after a two days visit to Doda District where he reviewed law and order situation of Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban Districts in a joint meeting. At least half a dozen women have shun the cadre of militants and silently stopped working for them on the intervention of some influential villagers, who have considerable say in their areas. The women were working for them by arranging food and shelter or even transporting their weapons in Doda District. Police have decided not to book the women as they have voluntarily given up the path of militancy. Sources, meanwhile, said only those girls, who have married the militants, have refused to join the national mainstream and continued to stay with the commanders of LeT and HM in their hide-outs located in mountainous areas. Family members of these girls, all of whom have been identified, were reported to have done their lot along with elderly villagers of the area to win back the women but couldn’t succeed. Sources admitted that prospectus of return of the women, who have married the ‘commanders’ after joining the militancy, were bleak. Accordingly, police have declared these women as ‘B’ category militants for their active participation in militancy.

Security Forces (SFs) in Jammu and Kashmir are fighting a "dozen-odd Hindu militants", according to a document prepared by Police, reports Telegraph. The document says four "Hindu militants" were among those killed in encounters with the SFs over the years, while one had surrendered and another was arrested. "Some of the (Hindu) militants are listed in the ‘A’ (the most dreaded) category and all are from various Districts of the Jammu region. The first time any Hindu was known to have joined a militant group was in the early 1990s," an unnamed Police officer said. The dozen-odd surviving Hindu militants are with the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Al Badr, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Harkat-ul-Ansar (HuA), the officer said, adding they are active in the Jammu Districts of Rajouri, Kishtwar, Doda and Reasi. The police document claims that the "Hindu militants" operate with code names. Sham Lal, for instance, became Shamsuddin and he is with Al Badr. Krishan Lal is with the Lashkar. Kripal Singh is also with Al Badr. The Police said one of the longest-serving militants was a Hindu, Bipin Kumar of the HuA. Bipin, killed by the forces in 2008, had been active since 1996. Kuldeep Kumar alias Qamrain of HM died at Kulhind in Doda two years ago [2008] after being active for seven years. Uttam Kumar alias Saif-ullah of the HM died in an encounter in August 2005. Bittu Kumar, who was also with HM, is also suspected to have been killed. The only "Hindu militant" to surrender is Sunil Kumar. He has been absorbed into the paramilitary forces.

The Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) has asked its Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK)-based leadership to sneak into India and strike in a big way, reports Indian Express. "Sneak into India fast and do something big," said a HM ‘commander’ to one of the outfit's leaders based in PoK during a conversation intercepted recently by security agencies, officers of the Indian Army said on May 26. The conversation took place between A-category ‘commander’ of HM code Alfa 01 in Pir Panchal Ranges with HM ‘commander’ in PoK Abu Suhaib. The call for infiltration was given by an HM commander on this [Indian] side of the border to his PoK-based counterpart. "As is evident, terrorists especially leaders have been on the run in both Kashmir valley as well as in Jammu region due to increasing number of encounters initiated by security forces in past," army officers said. "As compared to the past practice of staying in hideouts, militants have changed their tactics and are now regularly on the move, not staying in one house for more than three hours due to fear of encounters", they added. They do not trust the local population whether Hindus or Muslims any more and are always on the run trying to revive lost ground, they further added. 53 self-styled ‘commanders’ from different outfits - 22 of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), 23 of the HM, five of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), one of the Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI) and one of Al Badr were killed in 2009, which included the HM’s Deputy Chief of Operation Shabir Ahmed, top ‘Divisional Commanders’ of JeM, HM and LeT-Abdullah Satar, Saqib and Yousuf Gujjar. As many as 37 militants were killed in 2010 till May 15, they said, adding, it included 22 ‘commanders’ of the HM, LeT and JeM.

The Jammu and Kashmir Government revoked the detention orders of 25 Pakistani militants lodged in different jails of India to facilitate their return to their country, reports IANS. The State Government acted late in the night of May 27 on the advice of the home ministry, which asked that the militants be released. “Their detention orders under the Public Safety Act (a law that allows the Government to keep people in jail without trial for two years) have been revoked and they would be sent to Wagah in Punjab for their return to Pakistan,” an unnamed official told IANS. All 25 Pakistani militants, who would be handed over to Pakistan authorities at Wagah on May 28 (today), were arrested over the years from Jammu and Kashmir. Some of them were involved in acts of terror, the sources said, but did not specify the exact nature of crime committed by them.

In Laloor forests of Doda District, a newly inducted cadre of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) identified as Abdul Latief, a resident of Laloor killed a ‘district commander’ of the outfit identified as Bashir Ahmed alias Chota Bashir alias Imtiyaz in the night of May 30. Abdul Latief, who surrendered before SFs and Police after the killing, along with AK-56 rifle and charged with murder under Section 302 RPC besides other legal provisions of militancy and Arms Act. Latief reportedly to have confessed that he eliminated his commander, who was pressurizing him to induct two particular girls in the outfit. Identity of the girls has been kept secret by the Police. His further interrogation was on to ascertain his more links in HM as well as hide-outs of the outfit in Doda District. According to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Doda District, with the killing of Chota Bashir and the surrender of Abdul Latief, the HM has been wiped out in Doda tehsil (revenue unit). The report adds that Doda District Police with the help of elderly citizens and former Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) members had managed to bring a number of women back into mainstream after working with different militant outfits for past few months. This had led to desperation among the militant cadre as the women were helping a lot to them in transportation of weapons and mobile phones besides arranging hide-outs. Chota Bashir was reportedly trying to bring more women into the cadre of HM. A Defence spokesman said that the failure of militant outfits to recruit fresh youth and drying up of funds has resulted in an internal crisis amongst the HM and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Further, the elimination of over 40 ultras by the SFs within a span of four months has left a vaccum in top leadership which has triggered a rivalry between the outfits to gain a foothold on the extortion activities and area control. "The killing of Chota Bashir is a clear case of factional rivalry amongst the leaders and various groups for division of areas amongst various outfits operating in Doda District. This also reflects the low morale, lack of unity which is engulfing various militant cadres in the region of Doda, Kishtwar and Reasi due to the relentless joint operation conducted by the security forces. The ultras continued to run for cover due to the recent success by security forces," the SSP added.
