J-K cops warn of Taliban moving closer to India
CNN-IBN, April 09, 2009

New Delhi: The Taliban is moving closer to India’s borders, warns Jammu and Kashmir Police chief.

Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Kuldeep Khuda has told CNN-IBN that there has been a spurt in infiltration after Taliban gained control of Swat Valley and in parts of North West Frontier Province in Pakistan.

Kuldeep Khuda says the Taliban are now working in close coordination with terror outfits active in Pakistan.

“The Taliban have been active in the frontier province of Pakistan. Now they have moved closer to our borders. They have been active in Lahore and that gives an indication that they are getting more interested towards the eastern border of Pakistan. That also indicates there is more coordination between terrorists’ outfits in Pakistan. Of course we have to keep in our strategy for future and there has been some spurt in infiltration after the Taliban gained more prominence in Pakistan. It is a matter of concern and we are dealing with it,” says Khuda.

“In the month of March there has been activity on part of the terrorists to move around. We has some encounters, 28 terrorists, lots of foreigners among them, Pakistanis I should say… they got killed and fortunately our system of intelligence has improved a lot and we are getting good results. We had to keep all this in especially in view of elections which are on hand,” he adds.

He also says different terror groups have been launching coordinated attacks in the state.

“Whenever we have encounters generally we find a specific group being targeted. The mix of the two groups has been there in the past but generally incident of that kind of combined operation by various groups has been less. So these terrorist outfits have been working in a sort of lose coordination with each other but it is not they are totally independent of each other. They are being financed, outsourced , being equipped well from across by a single agency… that’s the elements within the Pakistan establishment and they have no reason not to operate in coordination with each other,” he says.

An advisory has already been issued to politicians in the state.

Earlier, the Union Government, too, had warned of terror strikes during elections.

Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had on March 27 sent out a letter to 25 VVIPs warning that they could be the target of terrorists during Lok Sabha elections.

Chidambaram wrote the letter to chief ministers and leaders of different political parties who have Z+ security.

Anand was kidnapped from the southern port city of Karachi and was freed in Bannu district of the North West Frontier Province yesterday after prolonged negotiations over the payment of ransom.

Sources were quoted by Dawn newspaper as saying that he was released after the payment of Rs 16 million as ransom.

He was reportedly kidnapped by the outlawed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, which is now headed by Ilyas Kashmiri.

Police claimed Anand was released by his abductors after one of their accomplices, Major (retired) Haroon-ur-Rasheed, was arrested in Punjab province. They said five other suspects had also been arrested.

Karachi, April 12: Well-known Pakistani film producer and distributor Satish Anand, an uncle of Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla, was freed by his abductors after six months in captivity for a ransom of Rs.10.6 million, media reports said Sunday.

Anand, who had served as Pakistan’s censor board chairman, was kidnapped Oct 20 last year by two unidentified gunmen while he was on his way home here.

According to The News, law enforcement agencies traced the kidnappers to Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and engaged in a negotiation for his release.

On Saturday, officials posing as family members of the film producer delivered the ransom money to the kidnappers, who belong to a faction of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-i-Islami (HuJI), in NWFP’s Bannu region, the report said.

After safely securing Anand, the officials launched a crackdown on the group and arrested five suspects.

Meanwhile, Anand is said to have been shifted to Islamabad.

The HuJI group, headed by Ilyas Kashmiri, had earlier demanded a huge ransom for releasing Anand, but later settled for Rs.10.6 million.
