Pulwama attack conspirator encountered by two militants in J&K
A top Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) commander and another militant were killed in a gunfight in south Kashmir’s Pulwama Saturday morning. Police claimed the commander hailed from Masood Azhar’s family and was behind the 2019 Lethpora car bomb blast. Mohammad Ismail Alvi, also known by his code names Adnan and Lamboo, was killed in a gunfight when a joint team of forces cordoned off Nagberan Tarsar village in the forest area falling under the Dachigam of south Kashmir’s Pulwama after inputs about their presence.
The militants opened indiscriminate fire and tried to break the security cordon. The joint team of forces retaliated, leading to an encounter in which the two were killed. Police said the identity of the second militant is being ascertained.
“Mohd Ismail Alvi was from the family of Masood Azhar. He was involved in conspiracy and planning of the Lethpora Pulwama attack and figured in the charge-sheet produced by the NIA,” police quoted Kashmir Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vijay Kumar in a tweet.
On February 14, 2019, forty paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed when a fidayeen — Adil Ahmad Dar — rammed his explosive-laden car into a CRPF convoy at Lethpora on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway. The attack, first of this scale, brought India and Pakistan to the brink of a war. Police said Alvi was an expert in manufacturing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and was involved in many militant attacks. Officials said police and army were after the militant commander for over two years now.
