Pakistan: Islamist Camps Destroyed in Quake - But Insurgence Continues
We brought you news earlier that of an estimated 55militant training camps in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, 15 had been destroyed in the earthquake of seeven days ago. Today's Hindustan Times relates that two of the most prominent Islamist groups had camps were levelled in the tremors of October 8. The bases of Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba suffered major losses in camps in areas like Rawalakot, with Hizbul Mujahideen sufering the most.
However, the losses of a few camps and fighters have not stopped the violence. Today the director of military operations along the disputed border territories, Lt Gen Madan Gopal, stated at a briefing that it has killed 29 Islamists in the last week.
The Indian army in the past week has been performing a combined role of relief provider of earthquake relief for stricken highland communities and policeman for the region against Islamist incursions.
Two attempts at infiltration into Indian controlled Jammu & Kashmir north of Kupwara since the earthquake happened. 16 terrorists were killed during these two operations, and though not giving a figure, Lt General Gopal admitted that these had brought Indian casualties.
