He had to plant explosive devices in busy markets of New Delhi to trigger blasts. Sources said simultaneously one or two more militants, who had been camping in New Delhi, had to plant explosives in other markets.

Police on May 2 arrested a militant of Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM) outfit, presently working for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who was linked to a major terror plot to carry out blasts in busy markets of New Delhi on May 2 or May 3 (today) for which a high alert had been sounded by the Union Home Ministry and an advisory had also been issued by the United States and Australia. The militant, identified as Omar Zargar son of Ghulam Nabi Zargar, a resident of Nawa Bazaar, was arrested from a terror hideout at Nawa Bazaar in Srinagar City before he could reach New Delhi to execute the plan along with some other associates, reportedly camping in the Union Capital. A satellite telephone, which is generally given by Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to top commanders, has been recovered from the possession of Omar Zargar. According to sources, Zargar was an active stone pelter and had rather become a ring leader of stone pelters for the past some time.

A special sessions court in Mumbai on May 3 pronounced Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks (also known as 26/11), guilty of waging war against India, after a 271-day trial, reports The Hindu. The 1,522-page judgment convicted Kasab of conspiring to wage war, along with nine other terrorists and 20 co-conspirators in Pakistan, and of murder and abetment to murder, among other offences. Among the 20 wanted accused indicted by the court are LeT Chief Muhammad Hafeez Saeed and other operatives Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah and Abu Hamza. The arguments for the quantum of sentence will begin on April 4 (today). Special sessions judge M.L. Tahaliyani at the Arthur Road jail court in Mumbai acquitted the other two accused, Indians, Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed, of “all the charges framed against them.” The two had been accused of making and conveying maps of target locations in Mumbai. The court said: “The preparations made for the attacks by Kasab and nine other attackers, and the co-conspirators, the training imparted to the gunmen, the arms and ammunition involved and the quantity of cartridges reached proved beyond reasonable doubt that this was not a simple case of murder but an offence punishable under Section 121 of the Indian Penal Code [IPC].”

India is trying to defame the Kashmiri freedom movement by unjustifiably naming Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi in the Mumbai attacks case, spokesman of the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD), the frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Yahya Mujahid said on May 3 in response to an Indian court’s verdict against Ajmal Kasab, the alleged lone surviving militant involved in the Mumbai attacks, reports Daily Times. “Right after the Mumbai attacks, Saeed categorically denied any involvement of his organisation in a press conference held the next day,” he said. Yahya said the Attorney General of Pakistan, Advocate General of Punjab and other Government law officials had put forth all available evidence before the Lahore High Court on the matter. “After careful review and diligent hearings, a full bench of the LHC decided that all the accusations against Saeed were baseless,” Yahya added.

The Hyderabad Police on May 3 neutralised a sleeper cell of the Laskhar-e-Toiba (LeT) by arresting its operative Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, reports The Hindu. The 34-year-old accused turned out to be the man who lobbed a grenade inside Odeon theatre at RTC crossroads in 2006, Hyderabad Police Commissioner A.K. Khan said. Haq became passive soon after carrying out that grenade attack and continued to live in Hyderabad though he met his handlers now and then. In a joint operation with Counter Intelligence wing, the city Police arrested Haq, a resident of Edibazar of Bhavaninagar in old city. A Chinese made 7.4 pistol with six rounds and two Chinese made grenades were seized from him. Directed by his handlers to cause ‘maximum damage’ in the city, Haq was looking out for targets when city Police were alerted by central intelligence agencies, Khan said.

An uncorroborated intelligence input from Assam Police about groups of al-Qaeda terrorists slipping into India was one of the reasons behind the high alert sounded over the weekend, reports Times of India. The Police was asked to look out for groups of terrorists from the al-Qaeda trying to sneak into the country from the western coast. Though the input was not corroborated, authorities did not want to leave anything to chance at a time when the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other Pakistan-based terrorist groups sound determined to launch huge attacks on India. At least a couple of inputs from Assam over the past two weeks said about 140 al-Qaeda members may have sneaked into India from the western coast, using Sri Lankan fishing boats.

A Srinagar city court acquitted a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant hailing from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) from the charges of illegally crossing Line of Control (LoC) )and directed the Central Government to initiate proceedings for deporting him. "From the evidence, which has come on record, the offence against the accused has not been established. The accused can not therefore be convicted for the offence for which he has been charged on the basis of the evidence," Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Srinagar Mohammad Ibrahim Wani said while acquitting Shahzad Khan, a resident of Rawlakote in Muzaffarabad (Pakistan).

Seven Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants and two Army personnel were killed in an over 24-hour gunfight, ending in the evening of May 7, in the Shiekhpora forested area of Rafiabad in the Baramulla District, Police said. “The gunfight has ended. Seven militants belonging to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit were killed while two soldiers also died,” Inspector General of Police (Kashmir), Farooq Ahmad told IANS. “Our men are still searching the area,” he added. The gunfight was triggered late in the afternoon of May 6 after the Security Forces (SFs) surrounded the forest area on specific information about the presence of a group of heavily armed militants there. “As the tight cordon closed in on the holed up militants, they fired indiscriminately at the security forces leading to a fierce gunfight which continued for the entire night. More reinforcements were also rushed to the area yesterday (May 6),” Police said. Earlier it was reported that four militants and two Army personnel were killed in the gun battle. Although the security officials claimed that all the slain militants belonged to the LeT, a spokesman of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) told a local news gathering agency over phone that four of the killed militants were its cadres and claimed that three SFs personnel were killed in the encounter.

K. Antony on May 7, reports Times of India. "It has been proved by this judgment that under the present law itself, if there is a will, we can take stern action...We can send a proper message to all those criminals and terrorists,'' said Antony.

The area of operation has now been expanded to jurisdiction of all the three Police Stations - Vilgam, Kralgund and Handwara -- of the Handwara sub-division. "The cordon-cum-search operations in the forests falling between Baramulla and Kupwara districts have been intensified following intelligence inputs about presence of 11 more militants in the area," sources told Daily Excelsior. They said top LeT commander Abdul Rehman, who heads the subversive activities in North Kashmir, was believed to be among the group of militants hiding in the forests. "A coordination meeting of LeT, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen [HuM] was scheduled to take place at a secret location but Rehman and his group had to retreat to the forests of Handwara after eight militants were eliminated by Security Forces in two separate operations at Dogaripora in Dangiwacha area and Chak-e-Adoora in Kupwara over past two days," the sources said.

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.

A Policeman was killed when at least two gunmen attacked an unarmed Police Picket at the Khilwat junction of the communally sensitive Old City area of Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh on May 14, four days ahead of the third anniversary of the bomb blast at Mecca Masjid, reports The Hindu. Constable V. Ramesh and his colleague Sri Hari were under a tree when two youths drove up to them on a motorcycle. One of them whipped out a weapon and shot at the Policemen. Hyderabad Police Commissioner A.K. Khan said that Police suspected the involvement of Vikaruddin, a suspected operative of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who reportedly masterminded a similar attack earlier. Subsequently, forensic experts who sifted the area found two spent cartridges and a blood-stained Compact Discs (CD) believed to have been left behind by the assailants. The CD contained a statement by an unknown outfit, Tehrik-e-Galba Islami that the attack was in retaliation for the bomb explosions at Mecca Masjid in 2007. The statement is in the name of Mohammad Fasiuddin. Experts said the caliber of the bullets fired matched those used to kill another Policeman on December 8, 2008 at Falaknuma.

Suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Mohammad Zia-Ul-Haq, arrested by Hyderabad Police (Andhra Pradesh), had received e-mails originating from Pakistan asking him to carryout "subversive" activities in India and had millions of rupees deposited against his name in various banks, the investigating agency revealed, reports Hindustan Times. Officials of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) said that they are trying to verify the statements made by Haq, who is accused of plotting terror attacks in the city. Haq, currently under Police custody, reportedly confessed to having received e-mails from one Abdul Aziz of Pakistan, who instigated him to carry out subversive activities in India, they said. For receiving and sending the e-mails, Haq had visited cyber cafes in Rein Bazar and Mehdipatnam areas among others last month, the officials said, adding they have seized four computer hard disks from the shops and sent them to Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis. The accused have also told the SIT officials that he had many bank accounts in various parts of the city with deposits running to Millions of rupees. The investigators are trying to find out the source of the money and suspect that Haq, a private car driver, received huge amounts through hawala (informal money laundering system) or other illegal means to carry out "subversive" attacks.

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.

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.
