The Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), terrorist group based in Pakistan, is continuing with its anti-India tirade with threats to Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi and the Indian State at the behest of its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) masters, reports The Week on March 2. While addressing a rally in Bhawalpur in Punjab Province (Pakistan), Ameer of JeM, Molvi Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar challenged India that his cadres were heading towards Delhi and if India could stop them, let it do so. He said in his speech, "Modi, if you could stop JeM Mujahideen, let you try. Instead of spending 15,000 crore Rupees on purchase of gums for Army, it should be spent on procuring wood for burning the dead bodies of Indians, because so many people would be killed that there will be shortage of wood for burning their dead bodies. Right from Afzal Guru to Adnan Shaheed, the death of each 'martyr' would be avenged." Pakistan continues to provide platform to dreaded terrorists to stage anti-India protests despite facing worldwide condemnation for sheltering terrorists on its territory.Asghar said in his speech, "The world would see the day when the name of JeM would be written in Indian Parliament at the spot which had touched the bullet from the gun of Arsalan Shaheed". "Gazva-e-Hind had started from Pathankot and then proceeded ahead. Jammu had been shattered and now Delhi was getting to be shattered", added Asghar in his hated speech. He added, "The spirit of taking revenge had not ended. Muslim girls of Gujarat, Muslims of Bangladesh and the people killed in Kashmir were not forgotten. The situation had changed now and jihad was in high spirits. Muslim Army of Allah would carry out jihad and the Indian opportunists would be kept behind bars".Abdul Rauf Asghar is the brother of Maulana Masood Azhar, the founder of UN designated terrorist group JeM. India listed Azhar as one of its most wanted terrorists due to his history of militant activities. JeM’s primary motive is to separate Kashmir from India and merge it into Pakistan. It has carried out several attacks primarily in Jammu and Kashmir. The group maintained close relations with the Taliban and al Qaeda and continues to be allied to them.

Security Forces (SFs) killed the mastermind behind Sunjawan Army base attack (February 10) and the ‘operational commander’ of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Mufti Waqas alias Abu Arsalan in a brief encounter at Hatwar in Awantipora area of Pulwama District on March 5, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that as SFs cordoned off Hatwar village near Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH), the militant commander came out of the house in which he was hiding and opened fire on the troops, who fired back and killed him on the spot. The firing lasted for few minutes and operation was called off immediately. One pistol and three grenades were also recovered from his possession. Waqas, who infiltrated into Kashmir early last year (2017), revived JeM in Kashmir. He was mastermind behind major attacks in Kashmir including attack on District Police Lines (DPL) Pulwama on August 26, 2017, Lethpora Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp on December 31, 2017 and Sunjwan Army camp on February 10, 2018 and attack on BSF near Srinagar Airport. Srinagar based Defence spokesman, Colonel Rajesh Kalia, said, “Based on specific intelligence of presence of a terrorist in the area of Hatwar Awantipur, a joint specific operation was launched today [March 5] by 50 Rashtriya Rifles (RR), JKP & CRPF. During the operation the mastermind of Sunjawan terrorist attack and Letapore terrorist attack Jaish-e-Mohammed operational commander Mufti Waqas, Cat A++, was eliminated in a surgical operation.” “This has resulted in a major dent to the designs of JeM as after elimination of their earlier operational commander Noor Mohd Tantrey in the same area in December 2017, his successor too has now been killed”, the spokesman said.

More than 70 Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists are believed to be active in Jammu and Kashmir, marking a strong revival of the Pakistan-headquartered terrorist group which was considered inoperative five years ago, reports The Economic Times on March 12. JeM is said to have been behind several fidayeen (suicide) attacks in recent months, including on Sunjwan Army Camp in Jammu, Border Security Force (BSF) camp outside Srinagar airport, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp near SMHS hospital in Srinagar and CRPF training camp in Lethpora, where the son of a J&K Police official carried out an attack. “I am sure there will be more than 70 JeM terrorists active across Kashmir. This is a big and dangerous number keeping in view their experience, conviction and style of execution,” an unnamed senior Police official privy to anti-militancy operations said. According to Police officials, JeM terrorists are scattered across the Valley, with central Kashmir serving as transit route. JeM terrorists have strengthened their base in southern Kashmir, especially in Tral area of Awantipora and some parts of Shopian and Pulwama, where many locals have joined them, they said. “We are also verifying information that two local boys from Hizb joined JeM recently. One more local who was involved in killing of a cop and rifle-snatching at Charar-e-Sharief has also joined JeM,” Pulwama’s senior Superintendent of Police Muhammad Aslam said. Security experts said that the hanging and burial of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru in Tihar jail on February 9, 2013, without informing his family first, gave a new lease of life to JeM, which had been dormant for many years after 2007. Within a year after Guru was hanged, JeM formed an ‘Afzal Guru Squad’ to “avenge” the hanging and its members have been carrying out attacks since then, they said. Moreover, with the killing of top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) commanders over the past year or so, JeM has seen quick ascendance among the militant groups active in J&K. Although JeM is a United Nations (UN) designated terrorist organisation, China’s repeated efforts to block any attempt to list Maulana Masood Azhar, the chief of the organisation, as a globally designated terrorist, is also seen as a major boost for JeM. Since its inception in 1998, JeM is said to have carried out several attacks such as the one on Parliament in 2001 and Pathankot Air Force station in 2016. Even as Security Forces (SFs) killed three top JeM commanders – Khalid Bhai, Noor Muhammad Tantray and Mufti Waqas – since October last year, the group is believed to have attracted more recruits. Al Qalam, considered to be the mouthpiece of JeM, said on March 7 that Waqas gave “fresh life to dormant JeM network in Kashmir Valley, streamlined the supply line and convinced many locals to join, who are now ready for their turn to carry out attacks”. The group is currently represented in Kashmir by new commanders such as Fauji Bhai, who is about 45 years old, and Omar and Arsalan, who are aged between 25 and 30 years. According to experts, JeM may resort to abductions this year to raise funds, along with fidayeen attacks and use of improvised explosive devices (IED) that it is known for. “The scale of militant violence is going to increase majorly this year. Availability of weapon is also not a major problem now. The armour piercing bullets and other foreign weaponry is also coming to Kashmir through JeM,” said the senior police official cited earlier. Police officials said that the resurgence of JeM in Kashmir is masterminded by Nasrullah Mansoor Khan Langrial, who was in jail in India for 18 years and repatriated to Pakistan in 2011.

The killing of Mufti Waqas, the mastermind of five recent suicide attacks in Jammu and Kashmir including the Sunjuwan strike, has dealt a severe blow to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) as he was planning to target other parts of India, officials said, reports Daily Excelsior on March 12. Barely 21 kilometers away from the State capital of Srinagar, Waqas, who moved around under the ‘code name’ of Abu Ansar, was killed in one of the most swift operations carried out by the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Army on March 5 in Haitwara village of South Kashmir’s Pulwama District. After February 10 attack at the Sunjuwan Army camp in Jammu, Waqas, an Afghan war veteran, was high on the radar of security agencies as he was giving continuous updates to ‘handlers’ in Pakistan and also assuring them that ‘the next attack’ would be in hinterland of the country. A crack team was formed by the Police with the specific job to trail Waqas — dubbed as a ‘killing machine’ for his skills in motivating youths to become suicide attackers. It was found that he was instrumental in brainwashing and radicalising Fardeen Khanday (16) and Manzoor Ahmed Baba (21), to turn them into ‘fidayeens’ (suicide bombers). The duo along with a Pakistani national stormed a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp on the intervening night of December 30 and 31, 2017, in South Kashmir’s Lethpora, killing five security personnel. All the three terrorists were killed in the retaliatory operation of the Security Forces (SFs). Waqas had the capability to create many more suicide bombers, officials said. A search was already on for three Kashmiri youths who had joined JeM last year, they said. Swayam Prakash Pani, who has the distinction of becoming the youngest Inspector General (IG) of militancy-hit Kashmir valley, refused to comment on the details of the March 5 operation which ended barely in 20 minutes. “I can only say that after eliminating Noor Mohammed Tantray, Tallah Rashid and now Waqas, Jaish has suffered significantly,” Pani said. Officials in the know of the developments said Waqas’s next target was to hit a strategic installation in the hinterland. His phone, which was sent for analysis, showed that he was constantly in touch with a few people believed to be Jaish terrorists. After the news of his death spread, tributes were paid to Waqas by Jaish cadres for his 11-month tenure in Kashmir.

In the wake of the terrorist attack on the military camp in Sunjuwan in Jammu and Kashmir, there is now considerable concern about intelligence reports on terrorists carrying out reconnaissance of military and civilian targets in the state recently, reports Times Now on March 19. The latest intelligence report said terrorists carried out reconnaissance operations in the Nagrota cantonment area (Jammu District) where the Army's 16 Corps headquarters is located. This was done by a mixed group of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists on the February 17 and 18, 2018. There has already been a terror attack on the 16 Corps headquarters. That was in late November 2016.A similar effort is likely in the Banihal area. On February 15, local leaders of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), the LeT and the JeM met in Shopian and decided to target security forces' convoys passing through the Banihal Pass. Intelligence reports said that terrorists have also taken stock of Sopore and Handwara areas. This happened on February 18, 2018. There are also reports of terrorists' plans to strike softer targets, particularly in civilian areas. These include two up-market hotels in Udhampur (Dolphin and Axis hotels) and also Police outposts in Shopian.

Top brass of the Security Forces (SFs) on March 23 reviewed overall security situation in the North Kashmir and stressed for minimal collateral damage during the operations and engagement of youth, reports Daily Excelsior. The meeting was held a day after five militants and equal number of SFs personnel were killed in a gun battle in Handwara forests of Kupwara District. General Officer Commanding (GoC) Chinar Corps, Lieutenant General AK Bhatt chaired a security review meeting of various agencies including Police at Pohrupet in Baramulla District. The meeting was attended by top Army and Police officers including Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir S P Pani, apart from the field commanders from both the forces.A Defence spokesman said here that the aim of this review of security situation was to strengthen the synergy among all agencies engaged in counter-militancy operations, which has resulted in the elimination of a large number of militants with minimum collateral damage in recent times. He said that North Kashmir, once the hub of foreign militants, has been turned around with a relatively stable security environment due to the joint efforts of the security forces and seamless cooperation and coordination among them. “The Chinar Corps Commander along with IGP Kashmir undertook an aerial survey of the area prior to the meeting,” the spokesman said. The senior officers asked the officers on the ground to continue to harmonise their endeavours to make North Kashmir militant-free. They also emphasised on continued efforts to minimize collateral damage during operations and positive engagement with the youth to ensure peace and tranquility in the region,” the spokesman said.The review meeting was held at a time when there are reports of increased militant activity in North Kashmir where, as per sources, over 200 militants mostly belonging to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) are operating. Besides this, there was less snowfall in Kashmir this year and it may lead to early infiltration and pose more challenges to SFs. Sources said that there are around 250 militants waiting on the Line of Control (LoC) in launch pads for infiltration. Army has already upgraded counter-infiltration grid along the LoC to prevent infiltration of militants into Kashmir. Last year despite tight vigil 120 militants managed to sneak into Kashmir from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
