SRINAGAR, Nov 27: : In a major strike this evening, militants killed
two house guards of the Bandipore-based Awami League leader Mohammad
Anwar Sheikh, left his wife and daughter-in-law critically injured,
torched his house at Rampora and looted the arms and ammunition while
as the protected person was himself 'missing' alongwith his 7 more
house guards and Personal Security Officers (PSOs).
In other militancy-related incidents across Kashmir valley today,
militants gunned down two more Policemen in the capital city, one
counter-insurgent Ikhwan member in Sumbal and an Army source at Chogal
in Kupwara district while as 2 women got injured in another rifle
grenade attack on the headquarters of 13-Garhwal at Haft Chinar.
Fifteen civilians, 3 CRPF personnel and 2 Beacon personnel got injured
in another grenade attack at Baramulla.
Informed official sources told EXCELSIOR that a thick group of about 60
heavily-armed militants swooped on the residence of the Awami League
leader Mohammad Anwar Sheikh at Armpora — about 3 km from Bandipore on
Bandipore-Gurez road — at 8.15 p.m. this evening and launched a
terrific offensive with heavy gunfire and firing of grenades. Two house-
guards, namely Constable Mohammad Latif (No. 861) and Constable
Mohammad Dayim (No. 461) of JKAP 14 Bn got killed on spot while as the
protected person's wife, Zooni, and daughter-in-law, Halima wife of
Tariq Ahmed, got critically injured. The militants looted a quantity of
arms and ammunition of the house-guards and PSOs and torched the house
completely.
When the militants disappeared from the spot, Mohammad Anwar Sheikh was
missing alongwith head constable Mohammad Shafi (No. 10) and constable
Mohammad Ramzan of JKAP 14 Bn. Besides, four more Special Police
Officers (SPOs) and one ex-serviceman, who were also house-guards, were
all missing. One of Sheikh's PSOs, namely constable Mohammad Akbar of
Security Wing, had a providential escape as he was somewhere out of the
house.
A former Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASI) of CID, Mohd Anwar
Sheikh was a staunch supporter of the counter insurgent turned MLA of
Kukka Parray.
He had contested the September 1996 Assembly elections from Gurez
segment on Awami League ticket and later, he had emerged as a prominent
activist of his party in Bandipur area.
Most of the time, he would stay at his house at Arampura where he was
present when the militants struck this evening. He had been provided
with two PSOs and nine house guards by the Government.
His house was also gutted in the incident. There were no whereabouts of
his. It was believed that the militants might have taken him along with
them.
Meanwhile militants mounted yet another grenade attack on a military
camp today injuring two girls and elsewhere in the Valley three people,
including two police personnel were shot dead and 17 others injured in
separate incidents since yesterday, a police spokesman said. Three
foreign militants were also killed in an encounter with security forces
in Anantnag district of south Kashmir yesterday, he said, adding large
quantity of ammunition was recovered from them.
Militants fired five-six grenades at the Army camp at Haft Chinar area.
While three to four grenades fell inside the camp, another exploded
outside its main gate. Another grenade fell in the nearby sweeper’s
colony injuring a woman and a girl. There was no report of loss of
life. Soon after the grenade attack, militants sprayed bullets on a
Special Police Officer, Ravinder Singh, killing him on the spot here
this afternoon. Minutes after this, militants shot dead a police head
constable on patrol duty, he said. Security forces immediately cordoned
off the areas and launched a hunt for the ultras involved in the
incidents. The spokesman said the body of a counter insurgent, Abdul
Rashid Mir, was recovered from village Chewa-Safapora in Baramulla
district today. Mir was affiliated to Ikhwan, a counter insurgent group
in the Valley. Three security force personnel and 12 civilians were
injured when militants exploded a grenade in Baramulla chowk near the
local bus stand.
The grenade was hurled on the security forces at 1400 hours, the
spokesman said, adding the injured were given medical aid. Two persons
including a shopkeeper, Tara Singh, were injured in an explosion inside
his shop in Batmaloo area of the city yesterday.
Three militants including two foreign mercenaries were killed in an
encounter with security forces at village Panzoo-Dooru in Anantnag
district of south Kashmir yesterday. The deceased militants were
identified as Bilal Bhai, Hafeez Bhai (foreigners) and Shabir Ahmad
Naik, a resident of Banihal. Three AK rifles, a grenade launcher, a
pistol, four rifle grenades, four hand grenades, a wireless set and
some ammunition rounds were recovered from the slain militants. Police
during search operations at Batpora, Haihama in frontier district of
Kupwara, were attacked by hiding militants last evening, the spokesman
said, adding the policemen returned the fire but militants managed to
escape taking advantage of thick forests. They, however, left behind a
pistol, a grenade thrower and some rounds of ammunition. Security
forces seized one AK rifle, a wireless set and a hand grenade from two
militant hide-outs, one each in Srinagar and Kupwara last evening.
