| A deputy divisional commander of militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami (HUJI) has been nabbed by police near Doda town in Jammu region. Police sources said HUJI divisional commander Mushtaq Ahmad Rishi alias Shahid Guerilla was arrested by a special police team last night while he was returning from Anantnag after a meeting with other commanders of the outfit in Jammu and Kashmir. Acting on a tip-off, cops intercepted a Maruti car at Pul-Doda, five kilometres short of Doda town, and arrested Mushtaq and the car driver, sources said. Sources said apart from killings of civilians and attacks on security forces, Mushtaq was also involved in several incidents of extortion. On his disclosure, police later recovered one pistol, its 16 rounds, a Huji letter pad and some incriminating documents from his hideout in Doda. A fake identity card of junior fitter in the Baglihar hydel roject, apparently to deceive security forces, was also recovered from him, the sources added. Police was further interrogatiing Mushtaq and his driver. |

| #3 A fake identity card of junior fitter in the Baglihar hydel roject, apparently to deceive security forces, was also recovered from him, the sources added. Baglihar is a source of friction between Pakistan and India with the issue now before a World Bank arbitrator. Pak fears the Indian dam will allow them to restrict the flow of rivers from Kashmir and starve Pakistan. Looks like the jihadis have been given orders to attack the dam. |
