SFs conducted operations following a tip off about the presence of two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants at Model Town in the Sopore area of Baramulla District. “One of Abdullah Uni's [top LeT ‘commander’] associates was spotted in the locality in the morning on a motorcycle. Following this a cordon and search operation was conducted. The operation started at 7:30am and was called off at around 1.45pm," Superintendent of Police (Sopore) Altaf Ahmad Khan said, adding, "There was no specific information about presence of Uni in Model Town. It was general information about presence of two militants. We conducted house to house searches for more than six hours and called it off when we couldn't find them."

Nine Policemen were injured, four of them critically, when militants detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) packed in a scooter outside Sopore Police Station in Baramulla District in the morning of July 6. Police said minutes before the IED blast, the militants hurled a rifle grenade towards the Police Station. "It exploded inside the compound without causing any damage or casualty," they added. As the Policemen came out, the militants detonated an IED planted in a scooter near the Police Station, injuring nine of them. Superintendent of Police (Sopore), Altaf Ahmad Khan, said that it was a booby trap and "we failed to detect it on time." He added that the attack was well orchestrated aimed at multiple casualties. This is the fifth attack on the Police Station in 2011. Khan said that Police and Security Forces have killed 10 Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants in past three months, adding, "Now only five of them are left who are trying to assert themselves by such attacks." Of late, Sopore has been the transit point for militants who infiltrate from Kupwara and other sectors, sources added.

A militant from Poonch, who had recently crossed over to this side of the Line of Control (LoC) from Sabjian after spending three years in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), confirmed the presence of at least 175 militants, of Poonch District in different training camps and other places in PoK, according to Daily Excelsior. The militant, identified as Mohammad Arif Iqbal, during his interrogation by Police has disclosed militants were mostly affiliated to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), and were from different parts of Poonch district. He also said that he had been asked by LeT and HM ‘commanders’ to survey the old route of Gagrian-Sabjian-Loran-Gulmarg, used by the militants earlier from twin border Districts of Poonch and Rajouri to reach the Kashmir valley.

Daily Excelsior reports that Police on July 14 filed a charge sheet against eight persons, including LeT ‘commander’ Abdullah Uni, for their alleged involvement in the killing of Jamiat-e-Ahl-e-Hadees chief Maulana Shaukat Ahmad Shah in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in April 2011. The charge sheet was filed against Javed Ahmad Munshi, Nisar Ahmad Khan, Abdul Gani Dar alias Al Ghazzali, the chief of radical religious outfit Sout-ul-Haq (Voice of Truth), Abdul Majid Dar, Gulzar A Khan and Reyaz Ahmad Shah, who were present in the court. The charges were filed in absentia against LeT ‘commander’ Uni and Jamaluddin, who is believed to be in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Ashiq Hussain Faktoo alias Qasim did not figure in the list of the accused in the case. Police had claimed that Faktoo, husband of Dukhataran-e-Millat chief Asiya Indrabi, had hatched the conspiracy to kill the cleric during his meetings with Ghazzali, when the former was lodged at Central Jail.

The US media on July 14 has pointed out that the attacks Mumbai on July 13 had all the markings of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), according to Times of India. "Whatever the investigation uncovers -- and it's still very early -- one thing is clear: Those groups still operate despite international pressure on Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks of nearly three years ago," said the ProPublica report headlined 'Mumbai Attacks Renew Questions About Pakistan's Crackdown on Militants.' The latest attack "involved bombs planted in strategic locations, a recurring tactic used by Indian affiliates of Lashkar in recent years," it added. In the report, ProPublica's investigative journalist Sebastian Rotella said that during the past week, Pakistani leaders have criticised the Obama administration for ... withholding 800 million dollars in military aid." The latest Mumbai attacks "could also turn out to be part of that shadow-conflict. The Chicago Tribune said the attack "appears to have been carried out by associates of two Chicago terrorists (David Headley and Tahawwur Rana) convicted in June. “While no group has claimed responsibility, and the Indian Government has not blamed anyone, Wednesday's attack has all the markings of LeT, radical Pakistani terrorists who employed a pair of Chicago men as scouts and planners," it said. The report said the "coordinated explosions" in the jewellery and financial districts of Mumbai are "precisely the kinds of attacks that David Coleman Headley helped to plot for Pakistani terrorists. This latest assault was shorter, smaller and more precise, but no less unnerving." A report in the online edition of the Los Angeles Times said that in the aftermath of the Mumbai explosions, "... some suspicions focused on Pakistan-based militant groups."

Nearly 450 militants at nearly 42 Pakistani arms training camps are waiting to cross over to the Indian side, General Officer Commanding (GOC, 16 Corps) Lieutenant General J P Nehra said on July 17, according to Daily Excelsior. When asked about the activity in Pakistani training camps and number of terrorists there, the GOC said, "As per intelligence inputs, there are 42 training camps, some closer to LoC [Line of Control] are still functional on that side and nearly 400 to 450 militants are there in these camps waiting for the opportunity to cross over to this side." He added, "There is no successful attempt of infiltration along the LoC since January this year. The successful infiltration level is almost zero. There were hardly 4-5 attempts, which were foiled in the recent past. We have deployed surveillance devices which can keep a watch during bad weather conditions and during nights as well. We have also set a multi-tier deployment system.” Responding to another question regarding lull along the LoC, the GOC said high vigil along the borders by troops, placement of surveillance gadgets all along the LoC and internal situation in Pakistan are the main reason behind it. However, lack of local support is yet another reason for it, he added. Replying to another question, Nehra disclosed as per latest inputs nearly 175 Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militants were operating in the South of Pir Panjal, including Rajouri-Poonch, Udhampur, Reasi, Banihal, Ramban and Doda. Foreigners are still dominating but most of them have turned inactive in view of mounting pressure of Security Forces and lack of local support, he asserted. When asked about use of satellite communication by militants, he said they have been using it earlier also. But militants in the State are now more relying on internet and social working sites, besides manual communication. He said militants are now using Facebook and internet in addition to manual communication, marking a change of trend. Mobile phones are less used now because they are easily intercepted, he added.

Hamad was one of the most wanted militants in North Kashmir and was active since 2008. Qari Saifullah was active in Ganderal and Harwan areas of Central Kashmir. Security agencies reveal that Sopore was the main target of these LeT militants.

General Officer Commanding (GOC) 15th Corps Lieutenant General S A Hasnain warned of more infiltration attempts from Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) in the coming months. So far eight such attempts were foiled by the alert troops, he added. "We expect more infiltration attempts in the future as militant organisations, particularly LeT, are desperate to re-establish their new leadership", he added further. Describing the recent killing of five top ‘commanders’ of the LeT at Lolab in the frontier District of Kupwara, as a major success, he said there is now leadership crisis in the outfit. "Our main objective will be to prevent the outfit in reorganizing their leadership.

Times of India reports that Qurat-ul-Ain has become the centre of a new controversy in Kashmir. Separatist leaders are threatening an agitation if she isn't released. The Police say they have a watertight case against her; she is a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) courier. "We have been watching her for a while and picked her up only after we learnt that she was part of the team that targeted the police station," said a senior security source. "Militants use young girls like Qurat-ul-Ain to reconnoiter targets, to act as couriers, because they don't draw too much attention. But the same is also true of us here: some of our best sources here are women," said an unnamed senior Police officer. Another top officer said, "Let's be honest: we have lost control of the main street here. It's the militants who control the mohallas of old city." "The basic problem is that the militant presence is strong. Surgical strikes won't help. What's needed is large-scale crackdown like we did in the early 1990s. Push in a large number of troops, surround a locality and go house-to-house. But the political leadership won't hear of it. Meanwhile, the militants are exerting their grip recruiting more people and eliminating our sources," said another security source.
