The Government believes at least 250 terrorists belonging to three Pakistan-based terror groups are active in the Kashmir valley and they could target Security Forces (SFs) to 'avenge' the surgical strikes carried out by the Army across the Line of Control (LoC), reports The Times of India. Quoting intelligence inputs, top Government sources said that most of the 250 terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) had infiltrated before the surgical strikes and were hiding here. They said the terrorists have been given clear instructions by their handlers across the border to target security forces to "avenge" the surgical strikes. The central Government has asked SFs operating in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to maintain maximum alertness and take all precautions to foil any attempt by the militants to target them. Sources said even though vigil along the LoC as well as the International Border (IB) was intensified, there were gaps in many places due to the difficult topography. Army, Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and J&K Police have also stepped up search for the terrorists. It is believed that some 100 terrorists are waiting across the border to infiltrate, as was first reported by The Times of India last week. SFs have killed more than 40 terrorists in the last one month while they were trying to infiltrate or attack the bases of Army and other SFs. Since the attack on the Army's Uri camp which killed 19 soldiers, terrorists have made several attempts in Baramulla, Pampore and Handwara. According to sources, LeT suffered maximum damage in the cross-LoC surgical strikes carried out by the Army with radio intercepts indicating that around 20 of its militants were killed.

Suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, lodged at Bihar's Beur Central jail, on October 13, clashed with two Police personnel on duty, reports dnaindia.com. After this, the jail administration has lodged an FIR in Beur police station against them on October 14. Sources said the incident took place when about 10 prisoners, charged with sedition for their alleged role in the bomb blasts at Patna and Bodhgaya in 2013, clashed with two security personnel over checking of food served to them. Senior police officers rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control.The terror suspects, had been arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and have been accused of misbehaving and preventing security personnel from doing their duty, as mentioned in the FIR. Rupak Kumar, Superintendent of the Beur Central Jail, told, "They are lodged in a special cell but their food is prepared in the same jail kitchen and it's a daily routine to check the food served to them when it reaches their cell. On Thursday too, the cops on duty were doing their job when the terror suspects engaged in a verbal duel with them. We have informed the NIA court and senior authorities about this as well."Officials said a probe has also been ordered into the incident and the report is to be submitted within three-days. Sources said that such fights happened often as the suspected terrorists protested checking of food by the guards and the jail administration was mulling stricter action against them if they didn't change their ways.

Underground members of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) may use the Bhopal encounter, in which eight suspected SIMI terrorists were killed, to instigate Muslims against the central government and Madhya Pradesh government, india.com reports on November 1. Intelligence agencies have warned that SIMI may start its anti-national operations again with fresh recruitment. Intelligence agencies are of the view that the banned outfit would use Bhopal encounter to instigate Muslim youth to carry out terror attacks.Central security establishment also said had the escaped SIMI terrorists not been killed, they would have joined Islamic States (IS) to carry out spree of attacks. “Remnant SIMI cadres of late have been gravitating towards the IS. Many members of the pan-India IS module busted in January this year, including its Mumbai-based chief Muddabir Shaikh, were ex-SIMI cadres. Also, agencies tracking other “sleeper” SIMI cadres have found them to be in touch with or trying to connect with IS handlers online,” an intelligence officer stated. According to intelligence agencies, SIMI activists are trying hard to bounce back and the Bhopal encounter may give him another opportunity to recruit new members to carry out terror attacks.
