The J&K Police today arrested a “hybrid” terrorist and recovered a hand grenade from his possession in Ganderbal district of the UT.

Police officials said Arshad Ahmad Mir, a resident of Sehpora in Ganderbal, was moving in a suspicious manner near a military vehicle in Khann area. “Hybrid” terrorist is a police coinage for those not listed as terrorists in police records but suspected to be associated and involved with terrorists.

The officials said Arshad tried to escape when the police challenged him, but was overpowered. An FIR under the UAPA and the Arms Act has been filed. The police claimed Arshad was an associate of The Resistance Front and his name had surfaced in several cases. He was alleged to be involved in the recruitment of his brother Lateef Ahmad Mir, who was arrested earlier under the UAPA, into terror ranks. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
