A joint network of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and al Umar Mujahideen was smashed by security forces who arrested seven top militants of the two outfits, apparently responsible for grenade throwing and firing incidents here for the last one year, a BSF official said Friday. The arrests were made from downtown Srinagar Thursday and security forces recovered huge quantity of arms and ammunition, deputy inspector general of BSF, R S Bhullar told reporters in Srinagar.

There have been 65 cases of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explosions, seven mines and 70 cases of grenade blasts in Kashmir valley since the last three months.
These groups were operating on the behest of Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar, who was one of the three militants exchanged in lieu of passengers of hijacked IA plane, and Shahid bin Abdullah alias Chacha, a resident of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Bhullar said.
They were planning to carry out attacks in Srinagar on Friday. Bureau Report
