Hizb-ul Mujahideen | In permanent conflict

The Hindu  

Azaad Lalhari, the Pulwama ‘district commander’ of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen, was trapped and killed near an orchard on August 12 by the security forces in his home district in south Kashmir. Launched in 1990 by Muhammad Ahsan Dar, a school teacher, and Mohammad Abdullah Bangroo, a veteran militant, the Hizb-ul Mujahideen remains Jammu and Kashmir’s largest indigenous militant outfit. The security agencies warn that underestimating the Hizb-ul, which managed to revive militancy in otherwise militancy-free areas of the Chenab Valley in the Jammu region in the past year, “will be a gross miscalculation”. Over 90% local militants killed in Kashmir this year were trained locally by Hizb-ul experts, which include training in handling improvised explosive devices,” said the official.
