One Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper was killed and five others were injured after suspected militants opened fire at a CRPF convoy at Pantha Chowk area in the outskirts of Srinagar on April 3, reports The Times of India. Unidentified militants fired at a civilian passenger vehicle carrying CRPF personnel of 97 Battalion at Sempora in Pantha Chowk area. Two civilians, including a 10-year-old girl, were also injured in the crossfire. One of the injured personnel, Head Constable Basappa, later succumbed to his injuries. "Our companies were going from Jammu to Srinagar, when we were fired upon by terrorists. Six personnel were injured and have been taken to the hospital," CRPF Public Relations Office (PRO), B Chaudhury said. Security Forces (SFs) sealed the entire area and stopped movement of vehicles on the highway, adds Daily Excelsior. However, no one was arrested. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) claimed responsibility of the attack. The personnel were on their way to Srinagar for election duty for Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) by-polls scheduled to be held on April 9.

Brussels-based think-tank International Crisis Group (ICG), in its recent report, titled 'Counterterrorism Pitfalls: What the US Fight against ISIS and al-Qaeda Should Avoid' has said that if Pakistan-based terror groups carry out another attack like that which killed large numbers of civilians in Mumbai in 2008 (26/11), then it would be difficult for India to show restraint, indiatvnews.com reports on April 11.The report says that the two main anti-India groups – Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) for whom Pakistan is a ‘safe haven’, also pose grave threat to the United States (US). “Though neither has formal links to al-Qaeda, their fighters rub shoulders with other militants and global jihadists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The gravest danger they pose for Pakistan and the U.S. is another strike on India,” says the report.“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s response to attacks last year on Indian forces in Kashmir suggests his reaction would be calibrated carefully, and public opinion would weigh only so far on that calculation. But it would be difficult to show restraint in the event of an attack like that which killed large numbers of civilians in Mumbai in 2008,” it added. The report holds significance as relations between India and Pakistan are at an all-time low, especially after the terror attack on Army camp in Uri in September, 2016. India, in a retaliatory action, had carried out surgical strikes at terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir neutralising several militants.The report states that the main challenge for the US is to persuade Pakistan's military establishment to push the Taliban toward talks and rein in anti-India groups. The report says Pakistan's jihadi problem is largely of its own making and is "deeply entrenched". "That Afghan Taliban leaders who talk to the US or Afghan government without Pakistani blessings are promptly jailed or disappear showing how the military can clamp down," it says.

A communiqué, issued by the Police top brass has asked Police heads to brief their personnel regarding “the impending threat to ensure life and property of police personnel is well secured” reports The Hindu on April 17. According to the communiqué that was accessed by the newspaper, it has directed policemen “to exercise extreme caution while visiting their homes. Policemen should preferably avoid visiting their homes for the next few months as their security is of paramount importance,” it read. Police sources said two top commanders of the Hizb- ul- Mujahideen (HM) and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) held a meeting in Pulwama’s Koil recently to finalise their new strategy “to go after the local policemen”. According to Police investigations, handlers across the Line of Control have given their nod to start ‘Operation Tiger’ focusing on attacks on Policemen. Militants have already heightened activities against Policemen.

National Investigative Agency (NIA) has made a fresh request to the United States (US) for the extradition of David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Rana for their roles in the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai attacks, Times Now reports on April 21. The NIA raised the issue with FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Deputy Chief Andrew McCabe. The request was made earlier this month (April) when McCabe visited India and met senior officials from the NIA.The NIA has been tasked with the investigations related to the conspiracy attack of 2008, and it voiced out concerns over the unanswered extradition requests for both the accused in the case. The NIA told McCabe that its multiple requests for the custody of Rana went unanswered. Revitalizing its demand, the NIA reported to McCabe that a US court had found Rana guilty of providing material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which was behind the attack in 2008. As of now, Rana has not been tried for his offences registered in India for forgery and criminal breach of trust.

TheIndian Express reported on April 27 that three major militant groups are operating together in Kashmir. A video, being circulated on social media, purportedly showed 30 militants of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and JeM together in south Kashmir. The armed militants of the three outfits were reportedly marching in front of the camera in the 45-second video shot in a forested area. “Militants from HM, LeT and JeM… are operating jointly. This trend started last year after the July unrest. Before that, they had different areas of operation,” an unnamed senior security officer from Kashmir said.

A suspected Islamic State (IS) recruit, identified as Subhani Haja Moideen, has led the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to France and Austria while revealing a possible link between the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and IS, news18.com reports on May 1. Moideen was chargesheeted by NIA in its case related to the IS Kochi module. Moideen is one of the two Indians who fought for IS in Syria and Iraq. He had come back to India in 2016 to lead a normal life but was arrested by NIA (on October 5, 2016) on charges of trying to set up an IS module in south India. The NIA chargesheet accuses him of trying to kill RSS leaders in Kochi. The chargesheet also accused him of forming an IS module that conspired and prepared to target prominent persons including high court judges, political leaders and senior police officers besides foreigners visiting India.He told interrogators about a man named Mohammed Usman. Subsequent investigations revealed that Usman was a Pakistani trained by LeT who later shifted allegiance to IS. He was arrested by Austrian authorities on charges of being a co-conspirator of Paris attacker Abdel Hamid Abdesalaman. Moideen claims he saw both Abdesalaman and Usman visit his IS brigade chief, Abu Salimani al-Francisi, in Mosul. NIA sources said a French team had recently visited Delhi and collected information from Moideen and then invited the NIA to come to Paris for further sharing of information. According to the NIA, Moideen had travelled to Iraq and underwent training with IS between April and September, 2015. He returned to India and attempted to procure explosives and chemicals to wage war against the Government of India.
