The police has started an investigation to ascertain the background of a mysterious handwritten poster, claiming to be from the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which asked girls to “strictly follow the Islamic dress code” in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
The poster, which was put up in Aharihal village of Pulwama district, created panic among local villagers.
“It was a single poster that was put up in the village. It didn’t have any seal and it mainly asked girls to strictly follow the Islamic dress code. The locals were also asked to desist from helping the security forces. It does not look genuine but we are looking into the case,” Pulwama SP Amit Kumar said.
Kumar said there was no mention of any threat to the elected panchayat members in the poster.
94% Lashkar recruits view J-K as fighting front: US report
Washington, April 5
A staggering 94 per cent of the fresh recruits of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) see Jammu and Kashmir as a “fighting front” and hail mostly from Pakistan’s Punjab province from families having links with the powerful army and intelligence network, says a US military report.
The eye-opener report from the US Military Academy in West Point is result of a multi-year research effort conducted by a lead team of five eminent authors, including C Christine Fair, Don Rassler and Anirban Ghosh, and is based on a study of over 900 biographies of deceased LeT militants.
The report that runs into nearly 60 pages states the vast majority of LeT's fighters are recruited from Pakistan's Punjab province and are actually rather well educated compared with Pakistani males generally.
While LeT's recruitment is diversified across the north, central and southern parts of Punjab, the highest concentration of militants have come (in order of frequency) from the districts of Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Sialkot, Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Khanewal and Multan.
LeT training has historically occurred in Pakistan- occupied Kashmir's capital Muzaffarabad and in Afghanistan.
Together these two locations have accounted for 75 per cent of the LeT militant training over time, the report said.
“Ninetyfour per cent of the fighters list Indian Kashmir as a fighting front,” the report said. Although less relevant, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Tajikistan and Bosnia are also identified in the biographies as other fronts.
