According to media reports, Village Defence Committee (VDC) members on May 7 killed two hardcore terrorists of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including a ‘district commander’, Abu Abdul Qazi alias Chotu Pakistani, after an encounter at village Dammi, Lopara in the Dachchan area of Doda district. Official sources indicated that the slain terrorists were categorized as ‘most wanted’ and carried a reward of Rs 1.50 lakh on their heads. The reward money would be distributed among the VDC members, sources added. Sources said the VDC members rushed to Dammi village after securing information that two hardcore Pakistani terrorists had arrived to carry out a massacre of the minorities. After encircling the terrorist hideout and engaging them in an encounter, the VDC members succeeded in killing both the terrorists. From their possession, the VDC members recovered two AK-56 rifles, a wireless set, a grenade and 50 rounds of ammunition. Media reports indicated that the slain terrorists were wanted in a number of subversive activities across Doda district, including the killing of five civilians at Patti Mahal, Kishtwar, in November 2000. They were also wanted in a case of looting cash worth Rs 1.50 lakh from Dachchan Higher Secondary School in March 2001.2

Two suspected terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including an accused in the December 2000-Red Fort shootout case, were killed in an encounter near Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, on May 9. Police sources said the two terrorists were waiting for contacts to deliver them arms and ammunition. Working on a tip off, earlier, the police arrested three terrorists from the Nizamudin railway station in the city. They were carrying about 5 kg of RDX and an AK 47 assault rifle and were scheduled to meet the LeT terrorists. The police then took the three men to the rendezvous, where the LeT terrorists were waiting. The two terrorists, however, seeing more people than they had expected opened fire and were killed in the ensuing encounter, police sources said.

Speaking to the media on May 10, Delhi’s Special Commissioner of Police (Intelligence) K K Paul said five terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) [two of whom were killed in an encounter in Delhi on May 9] had plans to target VVIPs and industrial interests in Delhi and were operating under a changed name of Tehreek-e-bin Zaid. He said the terrorists, from whose possession fake I-cards of some unknown organisation - Human Rights Commission - were recovered, also planned to rope in Muslim youth of Gujarat into militancy, as they apparently visualised the State as a ‘fertile ground’ for recruitment into terrorist organisations in view of the recent communal violence there.

Making a statement in Parliament on the terrorist attack near Jammu, Union Home Minister L K Advani said the attack was not a coincidence when a senior US State Department official was visiting India and appears to be timed to give a message to the global coalition that terrorists cannot be cowed down. He said, "The incident also appears to have been timed to demonstrate to the world that despite the 'global coalition against terrorism', the terrorists are not not likely to be cowed down." The Minister said Abu Usama, spokesman of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), has telephonically told a Srinagar new agency that the incident was a handiwork of 'Al Mansooran', a new outfit floated by the LeT. The Jamait-ul- Mujahideen has also claimed responsibility for the incident, he said. Government remains committed to taking all possible steps to control militancy within Jammu and Kashmir, he said.

The toll in the May 14-fidayeen (suicide) attack in the Kaluchak cantonment, Jammu, has increased to 36. While mostly women and children were among those killed, approximately 48 others, including nine security force (SF) personnel, were injured. All three terrorists of the suicide squad who were wearing army uniforms and were suspected to be Pakistanis were killed by security force (SF) personnel in retaliatory firing. Official sources indicated that the death toll could increase as condition of many of the injured was stated to be critical. The injured persons had sustained bullet and splinter injuries and included primarily women and children of SF personnel’s families residing in the quarters that were targeted by the terrorists. Sources added that among those killed was a two-month old child. Official sources and witnesses indicated that three terrorists in combat dress boarded a passenger bus that was on way from Manali, Himachal Pradesh, to Jammu between Samba and Vijaypur. All of them were reportedly carrying three bags containing AK-47 rifles, grenades and explosives devices. As soon as the bus crossed Kaluchak bridge, the terrorists lobbed grenades and also started indiscriminate firing at the bus passengers. Even as most of the passengers managed to escape, seven of them including the bus driver and two women were killed on spot while another passenger sustained injuries. Thereafter, the terrorists are reported to have moved towards the quarters of SF personnel, located approximately 20 yards near the Kaluchak bridge. As the terrorists fired indiscriminately, one of the SF personnel in retaliatory firing killed one of the terrorists. The other two terrorists entered the family quarters of SF personnel and resorted to indiscriminate firing and throwing of grenades and explosive devices. These two terrorists were later killed in the ensuing encounter that lasted for approximately five hours. Official sources indicated that a total of 23 persons, mostly women and children, were killed inside the quarters while seven others had died in the bus. 48 others were injured. Sources added that casualties were reported from all the four blocks of the quarters as the terrorists got enough time to move from one block to another in absence of the SF personnel on duty. Although, identification of the slain terrorists was yet to be ascertained, two terrorist groups, Jamait-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) and Al Mansoor (AM), have reportedly taken responsibility for the attack. Media reports indicated that an anonymous caller called a Kashmir-based local news agency and introduced himself as the spokesperson of JuM and said three JuM cadres identified as Abu Zafar, Abu Saleem and Abu Salman had carried out the attack. However, a second caller claimed that AM, a hitherto unknown terrorist group, had carried out the attack. Media reports indicated that the AM may be another front outfit of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) or the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).

A media report quoting official sources indicated that the Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) was responsible for the assassination of senior All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leader Abdul Gani Lone. As reported earlier, senior Hurriyat leader and founder-president of the Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Conference (JKPC) Lone was shot dead by two unidentified gunmen at the Eidgah grounds in Srinagar on May 21. Quoting messages from across the border intercepted by security agencies, these sources said the intercepted conversation between one Abu Hadid operating in Srinagar and a control station of LeT in Pakistan revealed it was Hadid who was responsible for the assassination. The sources said Hadid reportedly carried out that attack along with two other Pakistan-based LeT cadres––Abu Hamza and Abu Rahel. Hadid was also reportedly advised by the LeT ‘operational commander’ in the Valley, Abu Samas, not to publicly claim responsibility for the assassination.
