Who is targeting army personnel in Jammu and Kashmir? A study has come out regarding this which has been published by the English website Indian Express. The report said that after a careful study of all the attacks since October 2021, security forces now believe that more than two groups – including terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed… .Have been involved in ambush attacks.
Around 30 terrorists killed since October 2021
Quoting sources, it has been reported that two people may be included in a group which may include Pakistani terrorists. Whereas three to five people can participate in the second group. A high trend commander would be leading this group. Overall, there is a possibility of presence of about 15-20 Pakistani terrorists in Jammu-Poonch-Rajouri area. At the same time, the army has killed about 30 terrorists since October 2021. Most of them are Pakistanis. 30 soldiers were also martyred in this action.
If reports are to be believed, one of the two groups has been eliminated. This group had been targeting the armed forces. The first episode of terrorist incident, which started from 11 October 2021, was carried out by this group. They set fire to the tents of the soldiers who had gone for the search operation, in which five soldiers died. After this, in the next seven days, four more soldiers were martyred in the nearby forests of Bhata Dhuria. The next major attack in the Dehra Ki Gali forest area was carried out on August 11, 2022, when terrorists attacked the Indian Army’s Pargal Camp in Rajouri and killed four soldiers.
Why are there terrorists left?
An armed forces officer posted in Jammu told The Indian Express that the commander leading the group along with his team had so far avoided taking shelter in the homes of local people. This is the reason why they have survived till now, otherwise such operatives are often arrested or killed within a few months of infiltration. This group makes caves their home and rarely leaves the forest. They also do not use dhuks (temporary shelters built by shepherds in the hills). They remain in minimal contact with local people for material assistance like food and gas cylinders.
terrorists live very cleverly
In the last one and a half years, security forces have picked up some such local people and interrogated them. But sources said it seems no one has seen the commander or knows his name. Sources said that in May 2022, following an input, Army paratroopers had also laid a trap around a place in the Kandi forest from where the terror group was to take its food, but they did not turn up for at least three days. . On May 5, there was a shootout between terrorists and paratroopers in which five Indian Army soldiers were killed. This terrorist group communicates within itself or with local supporters through radio frequency messengers. In this the messages are encrypted and cannot be intercepted.
