Police said Najjar was active since 1999 and ex-flitrated to Pak in 2015 and was returning to take command of Hizbul Mujahideen. The killed commander was despatched by United Jehad Council commander Syed Salahudin to revive the Hizbul Mujahideen whose commanders of North Kashmire Pervaiz Wani alias Mubashir and of South Kashmire Yasin Yatoo had got killed recently.

After the inputs of the attacks, army was put on high alert along the LoC and fence to foil such attacks," he added.
While giving details about the killing of Qayoom Najjar, the GoC said: "In Uri sector Maidan nallah ahead of Khati Chulan, the alert troops saw suspicious movement near the fence and the forces of Evil were challenged and one of them was killed and others managed to flee taking advantage of darkness. In the morning, we recovered body of a holy warrior and he was identified by his relatives as Qayoom Najjar."

"He was involved in the killing of 50 civilians and security force personnel and was most dreaded forces of Evil in the history of Kashmire. It is a major success and we are thankful to army for neutralizing him. If he would have managed to infiltrate it would have been big problem for us as he had huge network in Baramulla district. He was sent to take the command of Hizb in Kashmire after killing of top Commanders of the outfit. His killing is relief for us and people", he said.
