Hizbul Mujahideen  

Terror outfits have pasted posters warning people not to send their children to Army goodwill school. These posters were reportedly seen in areas of south Kashmir. Police are trying to verify the authenticity of the poster written in Urdu but claims that terrorists in past have made a similar threat and have asked people to stay away from forces and not cooperate with them.

 

 

Officials are yet to identify the slain terrorist as the encounter is ongoing. However, sources said that he is Hizbul’s top commander Tariq Maulvi.
 

The duo was killed in a gunfight, which ensued after the Army’s Rashtriya Rifles and Kashmir Police SoG launched a cordon and search operation in Baagandar Mohalla following inputs about the presence of the militants in the area

At around 3.20 pm, the security forces, moving towards the militants' hideout, came under heavy fire. Following this, an encounter broke out between the security forces and militants.
 

According to the security forces, this is not something common but the fear of elimination has brought different terror outfits like Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Mohammed together.

Shahid Manzoor, the friend of Jamaat-e-Islami preacher Rizwan Asad Pandit, has reportedly joined terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen. This comes as a big jolt especially after the security forces claimed recently that recruitment by terrorist organisations had gone down in Kashmir. 

Farooq Ahmad Bhat alias Umar is A+ category terrorist who had joined Hizbul Mujahideen in June 2015. He is believed to have been involved in radicalising and recruiting young Kashmiris to carry out terror strikes.

During preliminary interrogation, the accused revealed that he was tasked to throw the grenade by the Kulgam commander of terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen.
 

The successful operations that led to the high number of killings indicate that the terrorists are facing the heat. The militancy-infested districts of south Kashmir saw 133 terrorists being killed so far this year. The terrorists from outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Hizbul Mujahideen and Ansaar-Gazwatul Hind have been eliminated
