| Attempts being made to widen terror radar net | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, November 21: Attempts are being made to bring the state of Jammu and Kashmir too under terror radar. Hitherto the central intelligence agencies have revealed that Delhi and Mumbai had been under the terror radar for which the activists of Lashkar-i-Toiba have been fully trained in camps across the border.
Those official agencies that claim that Jammu and Kashmir too could be under fresh terror radar refer to series of encounters between the militants and the security forces in different parts of the state.
Reports said that Pakistan trained militants have started launching multi-dimensional activities which include raising of additional hideouts where weapons and ammunition could be stored and rebels could have a safe sanctuary. It also included carrying out ambushes and grenade and IED blasts which is evident from number of incidents of encounters between the security forces and the militants in Sopore, Kupwara, Pulwama, Kishtwar and Doda belts of the state in recent days.
According to these reports, the level of militancy related violence was expected to escalate after more groups of militants, especially those belonging to Lashkar-i-Toiba, succeeded in sneaking into the state.
Besides this agencies across the border have begun to provide moral and material assistance to the activists of Hizbul Mujahideen outfit. During the last couple of year Hizbul Mujahideen had lost much of the patronage from agencies across the LOC because these agencies suspected that since the outfit had majority of local boys as its activists it was unwise to place its eggs in its basket. Instead these agencies continued to provide material support to Lashkar-i-Toiba and Jash-e-Mohammed.
Official sources said that as a result of fresh support to them the activists of Hizbul Mujahideen had become quite active not only in enrolling boys in their outfit from various areas of the state but also have been in the forefront of minor terrorist strike against the security forces.
Sources said that Hizbul activists have been active in Doda, Kishtwar, Reasi, Udhampur, and in parts of south Kashmir. And in view of these reports the Government has rejected the demand for withdrawing Disturbed Areas Act from the entire state. However, the Government was considering to free the Srinagar city from the Act though the senior functionaries of the Army and the Paramilitary forces continue to oppose any plan of withdrawing or diluting the Act besides the AFSPA.
