Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) reportedly vowed to step-up the terror operations against India and the United States (US), reports ANI News on December 11. "We have been waging a war for the past 28 years and still asking we had got nothing. But, if you ask from those who are ready to sacrifice their lives for Kashmir then they will tell you that their shedding of blood in Kashmir will not go in vain but it becomes more fruitful. They are doing Jihad for Kashmir but doing it for Allah,” said the father of one of the militants killed by Indian Security Forces (SFs) on November 6, 2017, in Pulwama District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The ‘pledge’ was taken at a conclave - ‘Shohada-e-Kashmir’ - in Rawalakot (Poonch District of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). The conclave was attended by Maulana Talha Saif, younger brother of Maulana Masood Azhar; Maulana Mufti Asghar Khan, emir (chief) of JeM and many others.

India-China-Russia trilateral, for the first time, called for cooperation to take decisive and concerted action against globally-proscribed terrorists and terror entities on December 11, reports Indian Express. Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, however, did not mention Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in the list of terror groups, although she mentioned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Taliban, Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda. In her bilateral meeting with her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, she stressed the need to meet more frequently and without any agenda to strengthen mutual trust. While the RIC statement is viewed positively, South Block sources said they do not expect any radical change in China’s behaviour.“We call for the swift and effective implementation of existing international commitments on countering terrorism, including the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, relevant UN Security Council resolutions and targeted sanctions relating to terrorism and the FATF International Standards worldwide. We agree to strengthen cooperation to take decisive and concerted actions against globally proscribed terrorists and terror entities. We condemn all forms of terrorism and all terrorists, terror entities and organisations listed by the UN Security Council,” said the joint statement issued after the trilateral meeting.

Acting upon the Indian intelligence inputs, the security agencies in Delhi have elevated the security alert to contain a likely terrorist attack on the United States (US) and Israel nationals living in Delhi, reports The New Indian Express on December 18. The alert advises the local police to review the security measures and provide additional security around the US and Israel embassies, synagogues (a Jewish house of prayer) that is visited by large number of nationals of both countries—the US and Israel. “In the backdrop of the threat from radicalised elements, besides threats from Pakistan-based terrorist outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), terrorists may take advantage of this development to perpetrate acts of terrorism against US and Israeli interests in India,” said an official communication accessed by The New Indian Express.

India and the United States (US) on December 19 concluded their ‘first dialogue’ meets over designations of terrorists and terror groups through domestic and international mechanisms, reports The Times of India. The ‘India-US designations dialogue’ reflected the shared commitments of both sides to strengthen the cooperation level to tackle the terrorist threat. In June 2017, a joint statement issued post-meeting of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump stated that both nations are committed to strengthen cooperation against terrorist threats from groups including Al Qaeda (AQ), Islamic State (IS), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), D-Company and their manifestations. The US will hold the ‘second-round’ of this dialogue in 2018.

Without naming China, India’s permanent representative to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Syed Akbaruddin told on December 20 that it protects Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) ‘chief’ Masood Azhar for its ‘narrow political’ concerns and blocks India’s move from sanctioning him as an international terrorist, reports Hindustan Times on December 21. Notably, in November 2017, China blocked a ‘move’ by the United Kingdom (UK), France and the United States (US) to enlist the mastermind of the attack on Pathankot Air Force base— Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by using its Veto power.

According to official statistics, at least 327 persons including 208 militants, 75 Security Force (SF) personnel and 40 civilians were killed in militancy-related violence in Jammu and Kashmir this year, highest in last five years, reports The New Indian Express on December 22. According to the data, as many as 338 militancy incidents were reported from the State this year so far. In these 338 violent incidents, 327 persons were killed.As per the data, 208 militants, 75 security men including Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF) and Army men and 40 civilians were killed in the State this year. “Four bank guards were also killed in two attacks on Jammu and Kashmir bank cash vans by militants in volatile south Kashmir this year,” reveals the official figures. The militant and civilian casualties this year is highest in last five years.The SFs launched ‘Operation All Out’ against militants in the Valley this year after surge in militancy violence in the first part of this year. Among the 208 militants killed in encounters with SFs this year include top ‘commanders’ of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Most of the wanted militant commanders have been killed by the SFs this year. Now Zakir Moosa, who is head of al Qaeda’s Kashmir affiliate Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind and HM’s Riyaz Naikoo are among half a dozen wanted militant commanders still active.According to the official data, 148 militants were killed in 2016, 150 in 2015, 108 in 2014 and 110 in 2013. Similarly, 14 civilians were killed in militancy violence in the State last year, 15 in 2015, 17 in 2014 and 28 in 2013. As per the official statistics, 78 security personnel were killed in militant violence in the State last year followed by 82 in 2015, 39 in 2014 and 47 in 2013.The SFs this year also revived Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs) in the Valley after 15 years. The CASOs were the permanent feature during anti-militancy operations in the Valley in 1990s. However, the CASOs were discontinued by the security in 2002 after facing stiff opposition and resentment from locals, civil society members, mainstream groups and separatists. In view of success of “Operation All Out” against militants, the security agencies have decided to continue the operation in the winter months in the Valley also. A security official said there would be no let up in heat and pressure against the militants and ‘Operation all-out’ would continue. “We will be targeting every militant commander active in the Valley,” the official said.

Expressing its concern over the collapse of security situation in Afghanistan, India has told the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that all ‘safe-havens’ and support to terror groups must end, reports The Indian Express on December 22. “The support for terrorist organisations like the Taliban, the Haqqani Network (HQN), Daesh or ISIS, Al Qaeda (AQ) and its designated affiliates such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) from outside Afghanistan, must be forced to stop. The UNSC shares an essential responsibility in this regard in our collective interest,” said Deputy Permanent-Representative of India to the United Nations (UN) Tanmaya Lal during an open debate of the UNSC on Afghanistan.

A Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) ‘commander’, identified as Noor Muhammad Tantray was killed in an encounter in Samboora in Pulwama District of Jammu and Kashmir on December 25th night, reports The Indian Express. Noor Muhammad Tantray, was on the wanted list of the Indian Army. Acting on a tip-off, a crack team of Jammu and Kashmir Police cordoned off a house where two JeM militants were believed to be holed up, the Police said. Tantray was the ‘divisional commander’ of the militant group and was reportedly behind the recent attack by the JeM in Kashmir. He was lodged in Tihar jail and then later released on parole.According to reports, Noor Mohammad Tantray had taken over command of the JeM in South Kashmir in October 2017 and was engineering the outfit’s bid to regroup in the Valley. He was arrested in Delhi in 2003 and sentenced to life by a POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002) court in 2011 but had jumped parole a few months ago and rejoined militancy. In January 2011, Tantray and four others, including two from Kashmir, were sentenced to life imprisonment by a POTA court in Delhi. After being lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for some time, he was shifted to Srinagar. Tantray was released on parole in 2015, after which the Jammu and Kashmir High Court extended his parole several times. Tantray’s death is seen as a big blow to the militant outfit as he was the key man in reviving JeM in south and central Kashmir.

Security agencies said that they have possibly identified the person in a new 14-minute video released by the Al Qaraar media of the Islamic State (IS) on December 25, reports The Hindu on December 27. In the video, a masked man with the black IS flag in the background criticises Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and says various terror outfits - Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) - active in the Kashmir Valley are working as ‘proxies of the ISI’. Agencies suspect the person is Aizaj Ahmed Ahanger alias Ayaz, a local Kashmiri youth who has been introduced as Abu-ul-Braa-Kashmiri in the video. An official said they were yet to trace the location where the video was shot and from where it was uploaded.Criticising the ISI, the masked man in the video said, “You see the irony the ways they have endorsed — strikes, right-to-self-determination .... and many of their filthy ways have no place in deen [religion] … they are the ones bombing believers in Waziristan bowing to America, whose history is drenched with blood of Muslimeen. We declare our animosity and disassociation from your methodologies and Pakistan and declare our disassociation from Hizb, Lashkar, Jaish, Tehreek.”It is said to be the first Kashmir-centric video to have been posted by a media group associated with the Islamist group. The newly created group has been engaged in fierce competition with the al Qaeda to promote its propaganda in India through various messages posted on social media. In the past few months, both the IS and the Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) have been pushing several provocative messages on various social media platforms but the video by the IS was a new development, an official said, adding that AQIS has been routinely uploading such videos.Like posters released on earlier occasions, the IS fighter in the video is inviting former HM commander Zakir Musa and now the head of the AQIS-affiliated Ansar Ghazwat-ul Hind group to join them. Asked why the IS was wooing Zakir Musa, the official said, “On earlier occasions he has shown an inclination towards joining the group.” Ashok Prasad, Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) spokesperson, said, “Security agencies are aware about this particular input and are monitoring it for specific threats.”Another UMHA official suspected the motive behind the video, and said it could well be a ploy by Pakistani agencies to show themselves as “victims of terror”. “They are giving aspirational kind of messages but so far nothing specific in the nature of preventable action has come to notice so far. We have not been able to trace the origin of the video,” said the official. He said there was no credible evidence of the presence of the IS in Kashmir Valley and this could be an effort by the outfit to divert the attention of supporters after it lost ground in Iraq and Syria. The AQIS released yet another video on December 27 featuring two clips on “saffron terror.” One of the clips is three-year-old. Security agencies suspect the ISI to be running the AQIS propaganda since 2014.
