TOP JEM COMMANDER ELIMINATED IN LOLAB

Lolab, Kupwara, 23 Jul 13

Based on specific intelligence about presence of hardcore terrorist commander in Garwar area of Lolab, Kupwara District, a joint operation was launched by the Army units deployed in Lolab and the JK Police personnel, resulting into elimination of the top most commander of the Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist outfit. It was a fine example of surgical operation based on credible information and synergy between Security Forces.

On the night of 22-23 July, information was received about movement of Kari Yasir, the top most commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad. Five columns of Rashtriya Rifles units accompanied by JK Police personnel were launched. The area was cordoned during hours of darkness. At the outbreak of daylight, a suspicious movement was observed. When challenged, the terrorist opened up intense fire at the troops which was effectively retaliated, resulting into his elimination. Later, the JK Police identified the terrorist as Kari Yasir, the top most Jaish Commander who has been operating in District Kupwara over past 7 to 8 years. One AK 47 Rifle with three magazines and three grenades were recovered from his body. He was instrumental in facilitating guidance of the infiltrating terrorist columns of all the tanzeems across the Line of Control, organising reception and dispatching them to various places to cause violence and to spread terror. Elimination of Kari Yasir will result into a big jolt to the terror network operating in Kashmir Valley.
