Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have released a list of most-wanted terrorists active in the state. Sources say this is part of a larger strategy of the security forces to act against terror outfits. They say this is an extension of the ‘Operation All Out’ under which a number of top terrorists, including Burhan Wani, were killed in the past two years. The list comprise names of 17 terrorists from Hizbul Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba, Al Badar, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Ansar Gazwat-ul-Hind.
The list includes terrorists like Zakir Moosa (who is categorised as a A++ terrorist) and top Hizbul commander Riyaz Naikoo, who is believed to be active in Pulwama region of South Kashmir.
Since Thursday, terrorists have abducted at least 10 family members of policemen in Jammu and Kashmir. On Thursday morning, the National Investigation Agency arrested Syed Shakeel Ahmad, son of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, in a terror funding case.
