Intelligence agencies issue list of active terrorists operating across Jammu and Kashmir
PTC News Desk: In a significant development, intelligence agencies have complied and issued a list of 14 local terrorists actively operating in the Union Territory.
According to the reports, these terrorists are actively harbouring the foreign terrorists from Pakistan and providing them logistical support. The identified operatives are reportedly affiliated with three major Pakistan-backed terror outfits: Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Among them, three are associated with Hizbul Mujahideen, eight with LeT, and three with JeM.
They have been identified as Adil Rehman Dentoo (21), Asif Ahmed Sheikh (28), Ahsan Ahmed Sheikh (23), Haris Nazir (20), Aamir Nazir Wani (20), Yawar Ahmed Bhat, Asif Ahmed Khanday (24), Naseer Ahmed Wani (21), Shahid Ahmed Kutay (27), Aamir Ahmed Dar, Adnan Safi Dar, Zubair Ahmed Wani (39), Haroon Rashid Ganai (32), and Zakir Ahmed Ganie (29).
The identification of these local terror aides comes as agencies intensify efforts to dismantle the support networks facilitating cross-border terrorism.
The April 22 Pahalgam Terror Attack, in which 26 tourists were gunned down by terrorists, including three belongs to Pakistan, has reignited concerns over the growing nexus between foreign terrorists and local recruits.
