Bashir Ahmed Mir, the Harkat ul-Jihad-e-Islami’s (HuJI) ‘commander-in-chief’ for operations across India was shot dead by police in the Doda district on January 25, reports The Hindu. Operating under the code-name “Hijazi,” Pakistan-trained Mir is believed to have ordered a string of strikes across north and south-east India in 2007, including the court complex bombings in Uttar Pradesh, the bombing of the Ajmer Sharif shrine in Rajasthan, and the multiple bombings which took place in Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. A resident of Chatroo village in Kishtwar tehsil (administrative division), Mir joined the Harkat-ul-Ansar, which later transformed itself into the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), in 1992. He trained in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) from 1994 to 1995, and was then assigned the charge of instructing new recruits at a HuJI-run camp near Mansehra. He is believed to have returned to Jammu and Kashmir in 1999, and served with a HuJI unit operating out of the Pir Panjal Mountains in the Doda-Anantnag mountain belt. He was arrested from the village of Kapran in 2000, and served two years under the Public Safety Act until his detention was revoked just before the 2002 Assembly elections. After his release he went underground. In 2004, he was appointed ‘commander-in-chief’ of the HuJI in India.

Security forces opened fire across Jammu and Kashmir on August 12, in which 15 protesters were killed, The Hindu reported. Some of the worst violence was reported from capital Srinagar, where six protesters were shot dead, in day-long skirmishes between mobs and police. Police killed three more protesters in the central Kashmir town of Lasjan, where police said Islamist-led rioters had attempted to storm the home of the former Minister and People’s Democratic Party legislator Javaid Ahmad Mir. A police officer was also seriously injured in the firing, which officials said was initiated by Mir’s panicked bodyguards. Soldiers killed three more protesters, including a woman, near the north Kashmir town of Paribal. A spokesperson for the Srinagar-based 15 Corps said the protesters, who were throwing stones at an isolated military picket, refused to disperse despite repeated appeals. A protester was killed in Anantnag, although confirmation on the cause of his death was not available. Police in the remote mountain town of Kishtwar killed two members of a mob that attacked homes belonging to the region’s Hindu minority. According to The Hindu, eight people have now died in Jammu since Hindu groups launched a movement demanding that the Shrine Board’s land-use rights be restored — three in police firing, one in a terrorist grenade attack, one in an accident, and the last in a protest-suicide. In the Kashmir region, the death toll is over three times as high.
