The arrest of a 20-year-old terrorist in South Kashmir has security forces concerned about a surge in young men signing up for terror groups, many of them via social media, and the fact that they are training locally now, often with guns snatched from policemen. Earlier, terror recruits would travel across the Line of Control into Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir for boot camp.
Arzoo Bashir Najar, 20, who was arrested yesterday, was using Facebook to connect with other young men interested in joining terror groups. Pictures released by security forces show him posing with a gun - an ode of sorts to Burhan Wani ,the wildly popular 22-year-old commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, who was killed a little over a year ago, triggering months of violence in the Kashmir Valley in which nearly 100 people were killed including security personnel in near-daily clashes.
Najar, the son of a shopkeeper, was originally a part of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed; he then switched to the Hizbul, an indigenous terror group funded by Pakistan, and operated in Tral, about 40 kms from Srinagar. Tral was also the home base of Burhan Wani.
