102 IPRI Factfile • January 6 2010: At least three soldiers were killed and 11 injured in a suicide bombing outside an army barracks in Pakistaniadministered Kashmir. Pakistani-administered-Kashmir has been largely free of violence over the years and has been said the incident was a 'rare attack', although recently attacks have been on the rise. Eight Shia Muslims were killed in a bombing last month. In November, three would-be suicide bombers blew themselves up in the regional capital, Muzaffarabad, as they were chased by police. The three men did not appear to be Kashmiris, police said. In June, a suicide bomber killed two soldiers and injured three others in Muzaffarabad. Wednesday's bombing is the first outside Muzaffarabad and comes a day after Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari visited the area. It has raised fears the Taliban may be trying to expand their area of operations. • January 7 2010: A drawn-out gunfight between two militants and Indian security forces ended Thursday afternoon after the insurgents were gunned down inside a hotel in Srinagar's Lal Chowk area. One police officer was killed in the attack and one bystander succumbed to his injuries. The security forces also rescued 10 people from a neighboring hotel in what is a crowded business district in the city. Officials said that one of the gunmen belonged to the banned Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e- Taiba. A pro-Pakistan militant group, Jamiat-ul-Mujahedin, claimed it was behind the assault. However, Indian police pointed the finger at the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). A terrorist killed during the Lal Chowk encounter had a pre-paid mobile connection used for communicating with his handlers in Pakistan. The terrorist, identified as Saifullah Qari, believed to be in his midtwenties, had kept the mobile connection with him for a long period, and had meant to use it only during "operations", official sources said. He was one of the two militants gunned down by security forces, to bring to end a 22-hour siege in the heart of Srinagar. This militant incident in Srinagar is almost two years after a consistent decline in violence. 'Several rebel groups have been waging a separatist struggle in Indian Kashmir since 1989, wanting the Muslim-majority region to either merge with Pakistan or become independent. But violence began declining after India and Pakistan began a peace process in 2004. The region is now much
