Tuesday evening was the big success for Indian armed forces as the successor of Zakir Musa Hamid Lelhari, chief of Kashmir's Al-Qaeda unit was shot dead. After the death of Zakir Musa in May 2019, Al-Qaeda had pronounced Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH) Hamid Lelhari as its new commander.
Hamid Lelhari along with two of his local associates were killed in an encounter in Awantipora. The encounter began in the outskirts of Awantipora as the security forces launched a cordon and search operation following inputs about the presence of terrorists.
J&K DGP Dilbag Singh in Srinagar said, In Tral, Three local militants associated Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind were killed yesterday. Before that, in an operation in Anantnag, Three militants were neutralized.
According to DGP Dilbagh Singh, the terrorists belonged to Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. Two of them are suspected to be Pakistani terrorists involved in the killing of two Gujjar brothers on August 29 in Tral. The killing of two Gujjar brothers was one of the first casualties after Centre's decision to revoke Article 370.
