| Gunmen Kill Ex-Rebel Chief in Kashmir |
| 2003-03-23 |
| Gunmen on Sunday shot to death the former leader of Kashmir's largest Islamic rebel group in what may have been retribution for talks with the Indian government. The slaying of Abdul Majid Dar, former Kashmir commander of the Hezb-ul Mujahedeen, was a setback for Indian security authorities, who were trying to persuade the former leader to take a political role in the state wracked by 13 years of separatist violence. Dar was fatally shot in the town of Sopore, a separatist stronghold 35 miles north of Srinagar. Dar's mother and sister also were injured in the shooting by masked men, said K. Rajindra Kumar, the inspector general of police. Local news agencies in Srinagar received calls from two separatist groups, both of whom claimed responsibility for the attack. Syed Tajammul, a spokesman of the Save Kashmir Movement, said it had carried out the killing "for his activities against the movement." A similar claim was made by Faisal Nasir, who said he was a spokesman of the al-Nasreen group. |

| India accuses Pak of being terror hub. Wotta surprise. |
| 2002-12-29 |
| India accused Pakistan of becoming a terrorist hub and said Saturday that Islamabad was doing little to curb attacks by Islamic militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir. India Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani, citing intelligence reports, said al-Qaida members had relocated to western Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir after fleeing U.S. forces in Afghanistan. ``The epicenter of terrorism has shifted from Afghanistan to Pakistan,'' Advani said. That's not something that anybody just noticed. Seems like you can't throw a rock in Karachi without hitting someone on a wanted poster... Advani's comments came as a Pakistan-based guerrilla group vowed Saturday to step up attacks in India's Jammu-Kashmir state. ``We will continue jihad in Kashmir with full force,'' said Syed Salahuddin, head of the Hezb-ul Mujahedeen, the largest of more than a dozen militant outfits battling Indian troops for Kashmir's independence from mostly Hindu India. That's because the Indos and the Kashmir government said they were going to talk with the jihadis and try and indulge in a little sweet reasons. Sweet reason doesn't go over well in Kashmir. |
