Four top Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants and an Army officer, Captain Deepak Sharma, were killed during an encounter that lasted over 30 hours in the Dadsara village near Tral in Pulwama District, reports Daily Excelsior. The operation began in the mornings of March 3 and ended on March 4. Defence spokesman Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Brar said, "The officer was martyred after killing two terrorists in fierce gun fight in densely populated and heavy build up area.” The Army officer was killed when he was leading a group of soldiers into the house where the militants were hiding. "An operation was launched on specific information about presence of militants in densely populated Dadsara village near Tral on Wednesday [March 3] morning. During 30-hour long gun battle, four top terrorists of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen were killed and five Under Barrel Grenade Launchers recovered", the spokesman added. The slain HM militants, identified as Shabbir Ahmad Mir alias Zahid alias Aamir, Mohammad Amin Mir alias Mitha, Ghulam Mohammad Mir and Khalid, were active in militancy-related activities for past 15 years and were high on wanted list of Security Forces.

One Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant was killed and two Security Force (SF) personnel injured in two encounters in Pulwama District on March 3, reports Daily Excelsior. The SFs launched a search and cordon operation at Mir Mohalla at Dadsara in the Awantipora area in the morning after receiving information about presence of two to four militants of the HM in the area, official sources said. Militants opened indiscriminate firing on the SFs as they were closing in on the house of one Ghulam Mohammad Mir, where the militants were hiding. The SFs retaliated, triggering off a gun battle in which one militant was killed and two SF personnel injured. Intermittent exchange of firing was continuing till reports last came in.

Two top HM militants surrendered before the Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda in Doda District along with a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The militants were identified as Abdul Latif alias Hamza and Sher Mohammad alias Saifullah, both residents of Darosh in the Dessa area of Doda District. Hamza was a HM ‘district commander’ operating in Doda and Kishtwar Districts for more than a decade while Saifullah was an active militant of the outfit for past about two years. At the time of surrender, the militants handed over a large quantity of arms and ammunition including one Universal Machine Gun, one AK-47 rifle, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL), seven RPG rounds, one pistol silencer, one .303 gun, six AK magazines, two Motorola wireless sets, 10 kg RDX, one Chinese grenade, one UBGL shell, seven RPGs, 50 detonators, one M-16 shell, one walkie-talkie set and a pouch. However, PTI reported that Abdul Latif Bali alias Abdu Hamza, was a self-styled ‘deputy divisional commander’ of the outfit, and Sher Mohammad alias Saifullah was his deputy.

Police in Doda and Kishtwar Districts have identified 15 young women, who have been actively working for LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfits and were even trying to motivate other ladies to join ranks of the militants. Inputs developed by Police of Doda and Kishtwar through their Intelligence network during past few days of winter have confirmed earlier intercepts of some women’s support to the militants of two major outfits in the two Districts.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police on March 8 claimed that militant outfits Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) have been rooted out of the Jammu region, reports Hindustan Times. The focus, they said, has now shifted to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), who remain active. "HuJI and JeM were mostly active in Kishtwar District and have been wiped out. Out of four HuJI militants, three have been eliminated. The fourth has left the organisation and is now working as a freelance journalist," said Ashok Gupta, Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu Zone). Nearly 180 militants, including 21 women, are still working in Doda and Kishtwar Districts, Gupta said. "We worked on a strategy for winters and eliminated more and more militants as they came down from the hills. With the support of civilians, we were able to target militants, particularly commanders," he said. This year, 17 militants have been killed in Jammu, of whom 10 were HM commanders, the IGP claimed. Calling the neutralising of militants a major success, the IGP said it was due to "surgical strikes" in south of Pir Panjal in the State, adds Indian Express. Gupta said under "surgical strikes", the Police used two types of planning — "Track and Target" and "Scout, Seek and Kill"— in neutralising the top leadership of the HuJI, JeM and HM outfits in Doda, Kishtwar, Poonch, Reasi and Rajouri Districts of the region. Under the strategy, a large number of Special Operation Groups (SOGs) generated critical real-time information and conducted meticulous operations in high-altitude areas, he said. "Instead of big SOG teams of 20 to 30 members, we formed small teams of five to six men," he said. He said as part of their strategy, the Police targeted militant sympathisers, including women. "We have identified 16 women symathisers of militants in Doda District and another six in Kishtwar District. Now, the process has started in Rajouri-Poonch Districts," Gupta said. While four top ‘commanders’ were killed in Kishtwar, three were in Doda District, and one each in Reasi, Rajouri and Poonch Districts. Two top ‘commanders’ of HM surrendered before the Director General of Police (DGP) Kuldeep Khoda in Doda, Gupta said. "We are focusing on Lashkar," Gupta said, adding there were nearly 100 militants still operating in Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban. Regarding the Police’s summer strategy, the IGP said, "Our concern is that infiltration will increase after snow melts. However, we will ensure the number of militants does not swell and they don’t get supply of arms and funds." He further said that as of now 20 percent militants in Jammu and Kashmir are without guns adding, "So our strategy will be to see that they (militants) don't get these things from across the border, from normal channels... money, persons or weapons. That is our strategy we are working at." Claiming that that around 180 militants were active in the Jammu, he said, "However, they (militants) were running out of weapons due to the loss of their cadre in the last two months. We targeted OGW’s be it ladies or others. We have booked many of them to send our message loud and clear." He described the killing of top JeM ‘commander’ Dawood as the biggest achievement of the Police, according to Kashmir Observer.

Chidambaram on March 12 blamed Pakistan for sponsoring terrorism against India, vowing "swift and decisive" response if a fresh terror attack was found to have been directed from within Pakistan. "It is no secret that every militant organisation that is based in Pakistan is supported by ISI [Inter–Services Intelligence]. Lashkar [Lashkar-e-Toiba], Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Jama'at-ud-Da'awa (JuD), Al Badr -- every one of them is supported by ISI," agencies quoted Chidambaram as saying. The Home Minister said the involvement of Pakistan's State actors was hindering a genuine rapprochement between India and its "difficult neighbour". "If it is the State policy to sponsor terrorism, if the State policy is to export terrorism to India, how will we deal with that State," he said. However, Chidambaram, according to the agency report, responded to Pakistan's High Commissioner Shahid Malik’s denial by stressing that the truth could be found out if Pakistan agreed to, as demanded by India, provided voice samples of terrorists who were mentioned in the dossier India had given to Pakistan. "These can be matched with the voice transcripts of 26/11 [November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack] attackers and their handlers at a US laboratory. Then we will know whether the person is a State or non-State actor," Chidambaram asserted. In addition, Chidambaram said nothing came out of February 25 foreign secretary-level talks between the two countries, adding, "But I am told we are still open to another round of talks between foreign secretaries." His remarks can possibly be interpreted to signal his distance from the exertions to continue negotiations with Pakistan. He said Pakistan has been a difficult neighbour from 1947 with "lucid intervals". "We have a serious problem with Pakistan revolving around Kashmir. We acknowledge that. If it is a difficult neighbour then it must re-invent itself and one way to re-invent it, if it can, we wish it can become a truly democratic country where the real power lies with the democratically elected leaders," Chidambaram said.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on March 14 has claimed to have arrested a suspected Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant, identified as Bashir Ahmed Baba alias “Aijaz” from the national highway near Anand, reports The Hindu. Gujarat ATS Chief Ajay Tomar said in Ahmadabad on March 14 that Bashir came from Srinagar on February 20 apparently to spot “terror talents” who would be willing to go for training in Pakistan and establish the terror network in Jammu and Kashmir and Gujarat. Tomar also said that the 32-year-old Bashir was closely working with the HM’s top militants based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), including Bilal Shera, as well as with General Abdulla of the PoK-based Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JUM). Bashir maintained his links with Bilal and his other Pakistan “handlers” through mobile phones and e-mails even after he came to Gujarat. “Police have recovered three mobile phones, four SIM cards, e-mail addresses and objectionable documents from him,” Tomar added. However, Bashir reportedly surveyed vital installations such as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), important business spots on the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway on the posh outskirts of Ahmedabad, and several other important and usually-crowded spots such as the Fun Republic, Kankaria Lake, Gujarat Science City, Lal Darwaja, and the Law Garden. In addition, the famous Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar was also among his targets, Tomar said.

Ittehad Al Salasa Al Jehadi, a hitherto unknown militant amalgam of three lesser known groups, claimed responsibility for the March 16 Srinagar attack as well as the grenade explosion on March 14 that killed a Para-military trooper and left five injured, according to Daily Excelsior. A spokesman of the amalgam, comprising Al Nasireen, Farzandaan-e-Millat and Shuhada Brigade, said they carried out the attack at Koker Bazaar (March 16) and Zaina Kadal (March 14). "People should stay away from places where troops are deployed either individually on in large number. Any civilian getting injured in such attacks will be responsible for his or her own safety," the spokesman told media persons over phone. However, Economic Times reported that the grenade attack was claimed by Save Kashmir Movement militant outfit, which is believed to be a joint brigade of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM).

Syed Salahuddin, the commander-in-chief of Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), has been caught on camera at a terror launch pad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) exhorting his squad of suicide attackers to cross the Line of Control and attack the Security Forces in India, reports India Today. In the video, accessed by Headlines Today, Salahuddin is seen indoctrinating his armed suicide attackers with destructive weapons like rocket launchers and Kalashnikov rifles. Sources told Headlines Today that it was a very recent video, as recent as late January or early February, 2010. Salahuddin is seen on video talking about the 21-year-old fight in J&K. "Recently on February 5, 2010, Kashmir Solidarity Day was observed across Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir where Salahuddin was quoted talking about the 21-year long struggle in Kashmir," a source told Headlines Today.

The Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in Ahmadabad could well be the next terror target, said Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) officials, reports Times of India. It almost came in the crosshairs of militant outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), based in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Officials of ATS have found this explosive information in the cell phone conversation and email intercepts of Bashir Ahmad Baba, 32, a resident of Kashmir and an HM who was arrested by ATS on March 13 from Anand. “Before Bashir was arrested by ATS, his mobile phone was already under surveillance owing to the huge number of calls he made to Kashmir and PoK,” said ATS officials.

Pointing to Inter Services Intelligence and Pakistan Army officials aiding terrorist camps and the functioning of top militant leaders including Lashkar-e-Toiba chief Hafiz Saeed and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen’s (HM) Syed Salahuddin from Pakistani soil, General Kapoor said the terrorists "are probably more emboldened". "The comparison of pre and post 26/11 period reveals that there is no decline or change in the quantum of Pak support to terrorists’ operations in J&K. To the contrary, the terrorists are probably more emboldened by the sustained support enjoyed by them despite international pressure on Pak, post 26/11," he said. "In recent times, Syed Salahuddin accompanied by Pak Army and ISI officials’ visits launch pads all along the LoC. At the behest of Pak, he is also exhorting his cadres to step up violence in J&K," Kapoor added. Further he said that, approximately 250-300 terrorists are poised for infiltration across the LoC.

The militants on March 23 vowed to wage jihad (holy war) to liberate Kashmir from Indian control, reports Daily Times. About 5,000 persons attended a rally in Kotli in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), shouting, “We are ready for jihad, we are ready for jihad!” The gathering marked the anniversary of the 1940 Pakistan Resolution, in which Indian Muslims decided to struggle for a separate country following independence from British rule. Pakistan was born seven years later on 14th August 1947. “Diplomacy, talks and negotiations spanning several decades have not worked,” said Syed Salahuddin, chairman of the United Jihad Council (UJC), which consists of 16 religious groups, militant outfits and political parties. “The only way to liberate Kashmir is jihad,” said Salahuddin, who is also ‘commander-in-chief’ of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). He denied that jihadi groups were behind attacks within the country. The rally was also attended by leaders of Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD). A resolution adopted after the meeting said, “Jihad will continue until India ends its occupation of Kashmir.”

The Army on March 29 said that nearly 550 terrorists were operative in the State, including around 250 in Jammu region, while 200-250 others were waiting at different launch pads across the Line of Control (LoC) to enter the Indian territory to help the depleted rank and file of militant organizations in launching offensive, according to Daily Excelsior. Brigadier Gurdeep Singh, Brigadier General Staff (BGS) 16 Corps, while addressing media persons at Corps Headquarters, Nagrota, informed that there was no let-off from the side of Pakistan in abetting and aiding terrorism against India, as 42 training camps still exist across the Line of Control (LoC) out of which 34 are working wherein, 2000-2500 militants are getting training. The recoveries, including SIM cards, music players, eatables etc, made from the Pakistani militants killed at Kalakote in the Rajouri District on March 27 have once again proved that Pakistan is aiding and abetting militants, as all the materials recovered from their possession were found made in Pakistan, he said. "Most of the recoveries point to the involvement of our neighbour. Two Nokia mobile sets with 2 SIM cards of Jazz and Telenor mobile companies of Pakistan, perfume brands of Haji Gulzareen Khashbu House of Peshawar (Pak), Star high nutrition mixer of Multan road Lahore, Mosquito replant of Karachi and 2 GB MP player (Pak made)," he maintained. The BGS further said that the Jammu region has been by and large peaceful and so far, in the first three months of 2010, 24 militants, including 11 ‘commanders’ belonging to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Harkut-ul-Jehad Islami (HUJI) have been eliminated in different anti-militancy operations with the least of collateral damage. On the number of militants in the State, he said 200 to 250 militants, 50 per cent of them foreign mercenaries, are operating in Jammu region and nearly 300 in Kashmir, adds Rediff. He said, "We have also focused on over ground workers (OGWs) and facilitated their arrest under a pro-active policy to target OGWs of militants". Replying to a question on withdrawal of troops from the State, the officer said, "There is no major troop pullout or withdrawal in the State. There have been redeployments and relocations of troops as per the security assessment from time to time," according to Daily Excelsior. He, however, clarified that his comment was pertaining to Jammu region. About the proposed surrender policy, he said, "The Army is prepared to take up anything. The Government is in the process of formulating such a policy and would automatically take into consideration the safeguards".
