Twentytwo-year-old Fahadullah, who belongs to Multan in Pakistan, was active in north Kashmir from 2009 and had taken over the LeT command after Abdullah Uni, again a Pakistani militant, was killed by the security forces during an operation in Sopore town in 2011. “In the scheme of things, Fahadullah was the most important militant commander of the LeT in Kashmir who was in touch with commanders across the border and planning attacks on the security forces,” Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Abdul Ghani Mir told reporters in Srinagar today.
The LeT commander was involved in many attacks during the past three years.
“Fahadullah along with another militant Urfi Dar (now killed), alias Husham, of Sopore was involved in the killing of Special Police Officer Riyaz Ahmad at Brathkalan in Sopore in September 2012. He also masterminded a series of grenade attacks in Sopore in the months of July, August and September of 2012 injuring many civilians and security force personnel. Further investigation with regard to involvement of the terrorist is on,” Mir said while terming his arrest as a major success for the security forces.
Mir, who was accompanied by the General Officer Commanding of the Kilo Force, Major General Sarath Chand, said the Fahadullah was arrested last night from Bahramapora village near Sopore town after specific information was received about him. “A joint team of the police and 22 Rashtriya Rifles arrested him. Fahadullah, who was carrying an assault rifle, was taken by surprise and was overpowered by security men” the IGP said. He said a joint team of the Army, police and the CRPF launched another operation on receiving information about the presence of two more militants in the orchard area of Wagub village in Sopore.
“Two terrorists hiding in the orchards upon seeing the security personnel fired upon the security forces. In the retaliatory fire, Shabir Ahmad Sheikh of Palhalan in Baramulla was killed,” Mir said. “The second terrorist Hilal Molvi of Palhalan escaped from the area.” Arms and ammunition were recovered from the arrested as well as the killed militant..
