...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed.

(LeT) commander from North Kashmire Sogam town when he was purchasing eatables from the market.

The apprehended myrmidon commander has been identified as Abu Ukasha alias Hanzullah of Pakistain. One grenade and Rs 38,000 cash were recovered from his possession.

The myrmidon commander had infiltrated into Kashmire in November-December last year and was mostly operating form Handwara and Lolab forests. The official termed the arrest of the Pak myrmidon as a big success.

Sources said that two of his associates fled when police arrested the myrmidon commander from the market. One among them is believed to be local and another a foreigner.

Police accompanied by army later conducted an operation in Nagbal and Sheikh Nard forest area of Sogam during which a gunbattle broke out as the myrmidon fired at police and army joint party.

Security forces trapped one of Abu Ukasha’s associate, Abu Bakar who was also in the market at the time of his arrest but fled away.

The firing at Nagbal forest area continued for about an hour and it has stopped now. Security forces have cordoned whole area and they will conduct the searches in the morning. They, however, believed that the myrmidon has been killed but will only confirm when his body is recovered.

In the meantime, army and Police launched a massive operation in North Kashmire’s Bandipora district after they heard few gun shots form Sumlar forest area of the district this evening.

An army patrol had gone to the Sumlar forest area and they were fired at from a distance by myrmidons. More troops and police was rushed to the area and a massive operation has been launched in the forest area.
