Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 13: In what could be a major threat to security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, a video showing two militants including a former police man assembling a bomb at an undisclosed location in Southern Kashmir has emerged on social media.
In 6:54 minute video, militants can be seen assembling different kind of explosive material and configuring an IED. Militants, according to reports are affiliated with Hizb-ul-Mujahdeen militant outfit and are being identified as Jahangir Ahmad alias Haris Bhai, a resident of Achan Pulwama and Naveed Babu alias Abdu Azim, a resident of Nazneenpora Shopain.
Naveed Babu, a former Jammu and Kashmir Police constable is being introduced as IED Expert. The video has alerted security forces and intelligence agencies across the state ahead of annual Amarnath Ji pilgrimage.
Video shows explosive material including a gas cylinder, chemicals and other material and militants at the end of the video smiling and parrying. Video suggests that the militants are expert in assembling Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). Ahead of annual Amarnath Ji Yatra, Jammu and Kashmir Government today said that sufficient precautions will be taken for the smooth conduct of the upcoming Amarnath yatra.
After attending wreath laying ceremony of CRPF Jawans in Srinagar, Advisor to Jammu and Kashmir Governor Vijay Kumar ruled out any security lapse in the killing of five Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in a fidayeen attack in south Kashmir's Anantnag district yesterday.
"The attack took place where civilians were moving. The attack was not at a place of isolation. It was not a security lapse. Still only within seven to ten minutes proper action was underway to tackle the militant attack," Kumar told media
However, security agencies have expedited efforts anti-militancy operations in Kashmir particularly in South Kashmir. Last week, Ministry of Home Affairs prepared a list of top militant commanders including Reyaz Naikoo and directed all security agencies to expedite its operations to wipe out the militancy network by eliminating top listed militant commanders.
So far in this year from January to June, security forces have killed 115 militants including eight commanders and 38 militants affiliated with Jaish-e-Muhammad outfit that carried out the deadly Pulwama suicide attack. |
