Srinagar, Oct 26: Security forces on Sunday said that they have identified two more slain terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir whose roots belong to Kerala – this in addition to two other extremists from the same state.
With this a total number of four militants have been identified who belonged to the southern state.
The militants have been identified as Faiz of Kannur and Mohammad Yasir of Ernakulam. Both were killed in the Kupwara encounter earlier this month, in which another associate of theirs had managed to give a slip to the police.
Security forces said that the militant- identified as Abdul Jabbar - is hiding somewhere in the southern state.
Earlier on Saturday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police reiterated that the two suspected terrorists killed in a shootout in north Kashmir earlier this month were from Kerala and belonged to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terror outfit.
Based on the election identity cards found with them, their fingerprints and other evidence, the men were identified as Abdul Rehman and Muhammad Fayaz, belonging to Kannur and Malappuram districts of Kerala respectively.
The latest developments are in contrast with the past when only foreign and, in some cases, Kashmiris used to join terrorist organisations.
The newer facts clearly suggest that the terror network is much more deeper than earlier assumed.

It is obvious that these terrorists were trainees who would have returned to Kerala to take part in terrorists activities. It is likely that there are trained terrorists in Kerala waiting to strike and many more ready to undergo training. If this threat is not nipped in the bud, Kerala will go the Kashmir way. - K.Venugopal - Mumbai
