The 22-hour long operation against two militants holed up in a hotel at Lal Chowk in Srinagar ended on January 7 as both the militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) were killed, taking the death toll in the first major militancy related incident of the year to four, reports Daily Excelsior. One Policeman was killed in the initial attack on January 6 while a civilian injured in the firing succumbed to injuries early in the morning of January 7. At least 12 persons including three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and a photo-journalist of a Valley-based English newspaper were also injured in the operation spread over two days, official sources said. "The encounter is over. Two terrorists of Lashkar-e-Toiba including a Pakistani have been killed," Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda said. While one Pakistani terrorist was identified by security agencies through wireless intercepts as Qari, the other one was named as Usman from Sopore. The radical pro-Pakistan militant outfit Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) had claimed responsibility for the attack but the Security Forces (SFs) said this was clearly the handiwork of Pakistan-based LeT.

An Army trooper was killed and another injured in a gun battle with militants holed up in the forest area of Handwara in the Kupwara District on April 8, reports Daily Excelsior. Acting on a tip off about presence of militants, Security Forces (SFs) launched a search operation in the forests of Kramhour-Rajwar in Handwara. During the operation the troops came under heavy firing from the militants in which two soldiers were injured. One of the injured soldiers later succumbed to injuries. Three to four militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including the most wanted ‘commander’ of the outfit, Abdullah Uni, are believed to be holed up in the forest area. The militants were already operating in the hinterland of the Valley and were not infiltrators. However, intelligence sources said Uni, a Pakistani national, might have been on his way back to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Uni is the top ranked LeT ‘commander’ in North Kashmir and has managed to escape the dragnet of SFs at least five times in the last five to six months. He is considered to be the brain behind all the major attacks on SFs and Police informers in Sopore and adjoining areas over the past couple of years.

The Security Forces (SFs) on May 19 shot dead two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, identified as Abdullah Aniece alias Ans alias Faisal Hafiz and Abdullah Mohammad alias Abu Maaz, both belonging to Pakistan, in a day long gun-battle at village Joura under the jurisdiction of Gandoh Police Station in Doda District, reports Daily Excelsior. A Special Police Officer (SPO) who sustained injuries in the incident died later. Recoveries made from their possession include one AK-47 rifle, one AK-56 rifle, five AK magazines, one sophisticated wireless set, 48 AK rounds, one IED, two pouches and documents. They had fired a large quantity of ammunition and lobbed explosive devices during the encounter. Inspector General of Police (IGP, Jammu) Ashok Gupta said that the SFs launched an operation in upper reaches of Joura after developing a specific input about the presence of two Pakistani militants—Ans and Abu Maaz—who had escaped from dragnet of SFs several times in Doda. The encounter ensued when the militants, hiding inside a house, opened fire as the SFs asked them to come out and surrender. In the exchange of fire the two militants were killed. Ans was a ‘deputy divisional commander’ of LeT and was operating in Doda district for last nine years while Maaz was a ‘district commander’ of the outfit and was active in the district during last seven years. Presently, they were co-ordinating activities among left out militants of LeT and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) outfit and were trying to strengthen their cadre with local recruitment. "For the first time in last two decades, Doda District has been cleared from Pakistani militants. Only two surviving foreign ultras in the district have been wiped out’’, IGP Gupta said. "Only 22 listed militants have been left in Doda District and all of them were locals. Entire District is today free from any Pakistani militant, who once ruled the roost in Doda’’, Senior Superintendent of Police (Doda) Parbhat Singh said.

The Security Forces (SFs) shot dead two top ‘commanders’ of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) including a foreign mercenary in two successful operations in Keshwan area of Kishtwar District and Kalakote areas of Rajouri District on July 11, according to Daily Excelsior. Operations at both the places were going on with a group of at least seven more LeT militants including a couple of foreigners being searched in Keshwan while at least one or two militants managed to escape from Kalakote gun-battle. The militants were spotted which led to a heavy exchange of gun-battle between the two sides. In the initial round of cross-firing, one militant of the LeT outfit was killed in the evening. Other militants escaped deep into the forest area and were being chased. Of seven militants at large, at least two were foreign mercenaries while five other were locals of Kishtwar and Doda Districts. The slain militant was identified as Imtiyaz Hussain son of Ghulam Mohammad Rather, a resident of Koti Basti of Doda. One AK rifle, two magazines, 38 rounds, three grenades, a radio set and some other items were so far recovered from the encounter site. Sources said the group of eight militants was holding a meeting in Keshwan forests to devise a fresh strategy of recruitment of new youth into militancy and give a spurt to militant activities not only in Kishtwar but neighbouring Doda District. They also planned to target Amarnath yatra (Hindu pilgrimage) either on Jammu-Srinagar National Highway or at the base camp of Jammu.

Two militants, suspected to be from strife-torn autonomous Russian province of Chechnya, have made their way to the Kashmir Valley, highly placed sources said on November 26, Times of India reports. The militants from the Central Asian region, identified only by their code names of Umar and Usman, were spotted from a photograph recovered by Police during a recent anti-militancy operation in Sopore in Baramulla District. The photograph shows the alleged Chechen militants armed to teeth with latest assault rifles and other ammunition. The sources said the duo has been active in Sopore for several months now and the Security Forces have launched special operations to track them down. The foreign militants are believed to have sneaked into the Valley in late spring or early summer during one of the many dozen infiltration bids launched by the militants from across the Line of Control (LoC), they said. The sources said more than 60 militants, mostly foreigners, are active in Sopore. Meanwhile, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Shiv Murari Sahai confirmed the recovery of the photograph. "However, the contents of the photograph need to be authenticated with regard to the location where it was taken and the nationality of those pictured in it," Sahai said.
