I am from the home town of ASWJ that is jhang. This was a small attack designed to sabotage the Dam construction efforts. The commander of terrorists was killed by locals if this was an issue why would locals take up the battle. The first one on seen was local police and after a local police man killed the local residents gathered and attacked the terrorist before the reinforcements could arrive. Now almost 6 terrorists have been captured 2 killed and rest being chased. Have you been to Chilas ?
Not since 2003-4.
I had a friend from Gilgit and he used to travel by Air just to avoid going through Kohistan and Chilas. There have been numerous articles in the past about this and how this area has been ignored. The massacre of those foreign climbers should have been an eye opener. The ASWJ militant wing/LeJ in Punjab has been defanged thanks to CTD Punjab but this means they are re-organising in low state control places like Chilas and Balochistan.
The situation in Chilas is similar to Swat in 2005-6 when we saw initial signs of the movement.
ASWJ itself is not endulging in militant activities but the issue is those joining it or graduates from their Madressahs end up in LeJ or more sinister organisations. They just lay the groundwork.
