NEW DELHI: Islamic State Jammu & Kashmir (ISJK) is a rebadged version of Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM), an intensive Ahle Hadees associate which was once active within the Valley because the early 90s but remained defunct for a number of years, consistent with sources within the central security established order.
Dawood Ahmed Sofi, the ISJK leader killed in conjunction with three other terrorists in Anantnag on Friday, was once affiliated with TuM till he determined to switch allegiance to the Islamic State, deeply influenced via its radical, pan-Islamist ideology.
ISJK, an outfit that J&Ok DGP SP Vaid claims had not more than 8-10 active opponents, of which 6 have been eliminated, was once presumably planning an assault on the Amarnath Yatra as the 4 slain terrorists have been holed up in Khirram, a village along the pilgrimage course.
ISJK is believed to subscribe to the 'international jihad' type propagated via IS. "There seems to be a symbiotic relationship between IS and its J&K affiliate, with the former allowing terror attacks executed by the latter to be claimed under 'IS' name and ISJK drawing on IS popularity to make an impact on J&K youth," said a home ministry official.
"However, IS ties with the J&K arm do not extend to sharing of resources, funding or logistics," said the officer.
Incidentally, whilst each the Centre and J&Ok government have shied away from acknowledging the rising affect/traction of IS a number of the Valley's early life, no less than two slain ISJK terrorists - Mugees Ahmed Mir who killed a J&Ok police sub-inspector in Zakura ultimate 12 months and Eisa Fazili who killed police constable Farooq Ahmed Yatoo in February this 12 months - have been hailed on pro-IS media networks. Both had a historical past of association with TuM.
Not simplest TuM, but other small ultra-hardline outfits have also won reputation within the Calley. One of the earliest ultra-hardline Kashmiri leaders was once Abdul Qayoom Nazar, a long-serving local terrorist who broke ranks from Hizbul Mujahideen and floated Lashkar-e-Islam in 2015. Then adopted the likes of Burhan Wani and Zakir Musa.
What has, however, kept those ultra-hardline parts in take a look at is that they're subtle moderately than being a cohesive unit. "While these self-motivated, independent units have been planning attacks, the lack of resources and local support has limited their capability," said an observer.
