Jammu and Kashmir: Exchange of fire between terrorists, security forces in Kulgam

Taliban fighters have stormed several security posts providing protection to Afghanistan's historic minaret of Jam, cutting access to the UNESCO World Heritage Site and killing 18 security forces, officials said Wednesday.

The attack comes less than a week after the revered 12th-century minaret, located in a remote part of the western province of Ghor, was threatened by surging floodwaters.

"The Taliban have captured some checkpoints around the minaret. We had to retreat because more fighting would cause damage to the minaret," Sayed Zia Hussaini, the deputy police chief of Ghor, said.

Abdul Hai Khatebi, the provincial governor spokesman, said 15 pro-government militias and three policemen had been killed in the attacks, which started Monday.&nbsp;

"The Taliban have shut off telecommunication towers and have cut any access to the area," Fakhruddin Ariapur, the Ghor province director of information and culture, said.

"The cleaning-up work (from the flood) has stopped and we don't know what is happening there."

Dramatic video footage from late last week showed brown torrents crashing up against the base of the brick minaret, which was built in about 1190.

On Monday, the government said it had hired about 300 local workers to channel floodwaters away from the tower. The work appeared to have saved the minaret from imminent danger.

Located in an area largely under Taliban control, the Jam minaret is the world's second tallest made of bricks, reaching a height of 65 metres (213 feet).

It is situated on the frontier of Ghor and Herat provinces, at the heart of the former Ghorid empire which dominated Afghanistan and parts of India in the 12th-13th centuries.

J&K: Encounter underway in Pulwama district, 2 terrorist killed

Security forces have warned of a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir this election season. The specific intelligence inputs say Srinagar and the Awantipora airbases can be targeted by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, adding that the plan comes in retaliation to the successful encounters conducted by the security forces in the state after the Pulwama attack.&nbsp;

The security forces have been kept on high alert around these two strategically important airbases.

The alert has also been sounded on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway and military installations in the state as terrorists may try to target them on or before the occasion of the Islamic battle of Badr - the first military victory of the Prophet Muhammad - which according to the Islamic calendar falls on the 17th day of Ramzan; that day will fall on May 23 this year.

In the past too, terrorists have tried to carry out small scale attacks on the occasion by either lobbing grenades or opening fire at security forces in the Valley.

In October 2001, four Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were killed when they attempted to storm the Air Force base in Awantipora after a gunfight with the security forces. The attack was also the first one on a highly secure defence installation.

After the Pulwama suicide attack in February this year, the security on the Jammu-Srinagar highway has been tightened and several checkpoints have been erected to thwart any attempts of such attack.

Security forces after Pulwama suicide attack have conducted several successful operations, particularly in south Kashmir and eliminated top Jaish-e-Mohammed commanders. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/1-soldierterrorist-killed-in-encounter-in-jammu-and-kashmirs-pulwama-219056">On Thursday, forces eliminated three Jaish terrorists in Pulwama district</a> which included its top commander Khalid, a resident of Pakistan.

Minister of City Planning, Water Management and Higher Education Rauff Hakeem said Muslims welcome and support the security forces and police to carry out search operations following the April 21 carnage in which over 250 people were killed.

There have been few incidents of concern during these operations, which should be avoided as these could lead to a radicalisation of moderate Muslims in the country, he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror on Monday.

"Some people have suffered social stigma as a result of some minor happenings during search operations being sensationalised. One must not get carried away if Islamic literature written in Arabic or in Tamil is found in a house. It may not be terrorist literature.

"There may be anti-(Osama) Bin Laden or anti-extremist literature with some people. The security forces could get help from the Department of Muslim Affairs to interpret such literature," the Minister told reporters.

Hakeem also said that the bombings had been carried out by a cult living among the Muslims which earlier attacked the "mainstream mosques in certain Middle Eastern countries".

"We as Muslims had warned the authorities of certain activities such as speeches made by certain people promoting extremism, which is against Islam, by certain groups from time to time," he said.

When asked about the weapons being found in some mosques, during the searches, Hakeem said places of worship should not be used to keep arms, adding that "terrorist activities and ordinary crimes should not be mixed up".

Asked about the ban on wearing a veil by Muslim women and on the unregistered mosques, he said relevant government institutions will take necessary measures on these matters soon.

There have been few incidents of concern during these operations, which should be avoided as these could lead to a radicalisation of moderate Muslims in the country, he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror on Monday. "Some people have suffered social stigma as a result of some minor happenings during search operations being sensationalised. One must not get carried away if Islamic literature written in Arabic or in Tamil is found in a house. It may not be terrorist literature. "There may be anti-(Osama) Bin Laden or anti-extremist literature with some people. The security forces could get help from the Department of Muslim Affairs to interpret such literature," the Minister told reporters. Hakeem also said that the bombings had been carried out by a cult living among the Muslims which earlier attacked the "mainstream mosques in certain Middle Eastern countries". "We as Muslims had warned the authorities of certain activities such as speeches made by certain people promoting extremism, which is against Islam, by certain groups from time to time," he said. When asked about the weapons being found in some mosques, during the searches, Hakeem said places of worship should not be used to keep arms, adding that "terrorist activities and ordinary crimes should not be mixed up". Asked about the ban on wearing a veil by Muslim women and on the unregistered mosques, he said relevant government institutions will take necessary measures on these matters soon.
