NEW DELHI: November has been the deadliest month for the security forces with 39 terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir, the highest hits this year in comparison to previous months. One of these major kills was of Lashkar-e-Toiba commander Naveed Jatt on Wednesday and now the security forces are working towards eliminating the few remaining top terrorist leadership in the state, government officials said.
The security forces have so far killed 233 terrorists this year, much higher than the total count of 213 last year. But, this is not it. The forces are expecting more action in the coming days, having received inputs on most of the terrorists being concentrated in certain areas of south and central Kashmir. These terrorists could include the three top leaders who are the prime targets.
Army Chief General Bipin Rawat while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in Delhi on Wednesday had said that the security forces are ‘one by one’ killing terrorists, who have been named as the top 12 most wanted ones in J&K and plans are afoot to finish their leadership. Sources explained that following Jatt’s killing, forces are searching for Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Zeenat-ul-Islam, the group’s chief operational commander in Kashmir, Riyaz Ahmad Naikoo, besides Zakir Musa of the group called the Ansar Ghazwat ul-Hind. The three are locals of Kashmir and have been categorised by the forces as ‘A++’ terrorists, which is the most notorious level.
