A day after a militant of Islamic State Jammu and Kashmir (ISJK) was killed in Bijbehara area of Anantnag District of Jammu and Kashmir, the militant group on June 28 blamed Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) for his killing, reports Daily Excelsior. A video circulated on the social media in which a militant of ISJK has launched a scathing attack on HM and LeT for killing its militant Adil Ahmad Dar alias Hamaad Bhai. “I will briefly state about the incident that occurred with us recently. Our man, Adil Ahmad Dar alias Hamaad Bhai, whatever happened to him was done by Hizb and LeT together”, said the militant in a video message. “Both the leaders of these outfits, especially Riyaz Naikoo and Talha, hatched this conspiracy in the name of weapons, but in reality, they wanted to kill him”, said the ISJK militant. “Those who killed Hamaad Bhai, they were three and had actually come to join ISIS, they took on him and even clicked pictures, but they betrayed him. They had told Hamaad Bhai that they have seen Hizb and Lashkar now, they want to join ISIS”, said the militant in the message. He also blamed the HM for the killing of QayoomNajar, Mugees Bhai and Fayaz Ahmad from PalhallanPattan. “Suhaib Rumi was also killed when they came to know that they are joining ISIS. Same was the case with Burhan. When he started talking about Khilafat, he was killed in Kokernag. Anwar, Sameer and Firdous were also killed after their weapons were snatched”, the ISJK militant said. The ISJK militant said that HM and LeT are operating at the behest of Pakistan. “They work for a nation; they are the army of some nation working in Kashmir. I want to tell my nation that if they are still not able to see the truth which is in front of them, then I am telling them that they won’t be able to see it till the day of judgment”, he said.

Former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen on June 28 testified before the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) looking into the Easter Sunday serial blasts said one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up in one of the attacks had been his party’s assistant Treasurer Alawdeen's son in law, reports Daily Mirror. Bathiudeen, however, said that he had not associated with this terror group member at any time. “I got to know from Alawdeen that his son in law had informed his daughter that he was going to Zambia. He had later messaged his wife and said he is in Dubai. Then he had sent a text again the following day and had informed that he was in Kenya. However we found out later that he was one of the bombers who carried out one of the attacks on April 21 2019. Nether the wife of the bomber nor his father in law had known about it,” Mr. Bathiudeen said.The former MP said that the ideology of Islamic State and National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) was against Islamism. He said he had already expressed his regrets to Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith on the Easter Sunday attacks. “We are ready to work with all religious leaders and the armed forces to eradicate terrorism and extremism in Sri Lanka.”
