| HM BACK WITH A BANG | | |
Srinagar, Nov 15
Hizbul Mujahideen is back with a bang in a bid to out stage three other militant groups LeT, JeM and Al Badr operating in Jammu and Kashmir and establish its supremacy with an eye on ongoing Foreign secretary level talks between India and Pakistan.
OnTuesday HM cadre carried out two simultaneous attacks on security forces injuring more than 20 people including 10 security personnel just when Indo-Pak talks got underway.
The police said that Hizb was back with a bang and being an outfit dominated by local youths it has received sympathy and support from sections of people when Hizb leaders started carving out bases in Srinagar city which the police had ,a year ago,claimed to have been sanitized.
According to senior police officers Hizbul Mujahideen is making all attempts to regain its lost ground after more than 12 of its field commanders had been eliminated in the state during the last one year.”
One Police officer of the rank of DIG said that in the recent months leaders of Hizbul Mujahideen had been successful in enlarging the outfit’s bases after recruiting several hundred local boys in the organization.
He said that agencies across the LOC aiding militants in Jammu and Kashmir had come under international pressure after Delhi made it known that foreign mercenaries dominated Lashkar-i-Toiba,Jash-e-Mohammad and Al Badr activists had been responsible for fomenting the level of violence not only in Kashmir but in other states,including Mumbai.These agencies,reports said, have started lending moral and material assistance to Hizbul Mujahideen.
At one time,moral and material support to Hizbul Mujahideen from across the border had got reduced to a trickle as these agencies banked on the activists of Lashkar,Jaish and Al Badr for carrying out major gun and grenade strikes against vital Government installations, camps of security forces and political leaders. Hizbul Mujahideen activists no longer feel the pinch of shortage of either the manpower or weapons or ammunition and explosives.
The police said that the security forces may have to redouble their antiinsurgency operations because those militants who have been camping in the upper reaches of Baramulla,Kupwara,Poonch,Rajouri and Doda districts start descending to the lower levels the moment the hilly belts get buried under heavy snow. |
