Giving itself a year to stamp out militancy in Kashmir, the army on Wednesday said it will have to tackle the threats of fresh infiltrations and the terrorist infrastructure across the border for the return of peace in the Valley. Northern Command General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Lt Gen Hari Prasad said about 60 per cent of militancy has already been wiped out and its top leadership eliminated.
| Syed Salahuddin's still in business. Qazi's still in business. Hafiz Saeed's still in business. If they wipe out terrorism in Kashmir in a year, you'll see that my hair's grown back, thick and wavy, and my gut's disappeared, to be replaced by a rippling six-pack... |
| Mebbe they're sending Qazi a message ... |
He, however, said there is "no let up in the attempts to infiltrate into J&K from across the border.
| Bingo. Even if the Paks were to try and crack down in really good faith, Hafiz Saeed wouldn't. They'd keep running business as usually, just without gummint support. The fundos within Pakland are too powerful to screw with, so there wouldn't be anything effectively done to stop them. |
General Prasad said the militants, whose top commanders have been eliminated during the past year, are frustrated and are now targeting innocents -- children, women and the elderly.

| There's a reason why we have the 'Kashmir Korpse Kount' ... |
He was referring to the Tuesday's car bomb attack outside a school in Pulwama that left 15 dead. "No religion targets innocents. Targetting of civilians is a sign of cowardice," he added.
