Jammu:
A 2011 Delhi High Court blast accused, Amir Kamal, was among two
alleged Hizb-ul-Mujahideen militants killed Monday in a shootout
with security forces in the mountainous Kishtwar district of Jammu
and Kashmir, police said.
A senior police officer said that, based on a tip-off, they
launched an operation to nab "top militants" reported to be hiding
in Dachan areas, about 270 km north-east of Jammu.
"We launched an operation today (Monday) morning by throwing a
cordon around the area. As we closed in on the hideout of the
militants, a fire fight began that continued for over an hour," he
said.
According to reports reaching Kishtwar, two alleged militants have
been shot dead in the gun batle.
"One of them is believed to be Amir (Kamal), code named Akram, who
was involved in the Delhi High Court blast," the police officer
said.
The police suspect, Amir was a hardened militant who is believed
to have arranged explosives and planter for the blast. The other
person killed was identified as Shafi. Both belong to
Hizb-ul-Mujahideen.
Since the site of the gun battle was very remote with poor radio
or other means of communication, "the other details will take some
more time to come in", he said.
But he described this as "a major blow to the HM organisation in
the area".
At least 10 people were killed and over 70 people were injured in
the bomb blast outside Delhi High Court Sep 7, 2011.
