...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT), security forces today bumped off its top commander and criminal mastermind behind last year’s attack in Udhampur on a Border Security Force (BSF) convoy, Abu Ukasha, and his associate while LeT divisional commander, Abu Dujana, along with 9 other LeT snuffies managed to escape from the cordon.

After a specific input received by the Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmire Police, Srinagar, about presence of 11 snuffies including top leadership of LeT, security forces this afternoon launched searches at Chandipora, Goripora and Wadhakpora villages in South Kashmire’s Pulwama district.

A top police officer said that they had information about the presence of 11 snuffies of LeT who had a meeting in the area. As they were holding the meeting in the Agriculture farm in Wadhakpora in Awantipora area of South Kashmire’s Pulwama district, security forces laid the cordon and conducted searches during which shootout broke out that lasted for several hours.

Security forces cordoned off vast area and had a fierce shootout with the LeT snuffies at Wadhakpora in Awantipora area in which two snuffies were killed. They have been identified as Abu Ukasha and Abu Hafiz. They also recovered two AK-47 rifles, four magazines and two pouches from their possession.

Large number of security forces took part in the operation as the area is vast and has bushes as well. Besides SOG Srinagar, those who were part of the operation include 10 Para, 50, 42 and 55 Rashtirya Rifles of Army, 185, 110 and 18th battalion of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), SOG Awantipora and Pulwama.

Abu Ukasha was one of the most wanted snuffies in Kashmire and National Investigating Agency (NIA) had announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh on his head for his involvement in Udhampur attack. He was part of the three snuffies who carried out the attack in Udhampur on BSF convoy last year. One of his associates, Mohammad Noaman was killed and Mohammad Naveed was jugged

As the security forces were engaged in the shootout with the two LeT hard boys, 9 other LeT snuffies including divisional commander of the LeT, Abu Dujana managed to slip out of the cordon, taking advantage of dense vegetation and bushes in the area.
