Indian security forces busted a terror module in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district by arresting two terror operatives along with a huge quantity of arms and ammunition. The recoveries including rifles, grenades, magazines, bullets and pistols were reportedly airdropped by Jaish-e-Mohammed operatives from across the border. The usage of drones by Pakistan-based terrorists for supplying arms to terrorists in Kashmir is alarming. Reviewing the threats emerging from global terror outfits, the United States has decided to retain designations of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba and Lashkar-i-Jhangvi along with several other terror organizations as foreign terrorist organizations. The move has come just weeks before the FATF meeting in February wherein the status of Islamabad in the grey list would be discussed. In the meantime, India is taking tough stance against global terrorism. India assumed the temporary membership of the United Nations Security Council at the beginning of 2021 and ever since it has been raising its voice against the acts of terrorism at the global level. The intra Afghan negotiations which began last year in September have so far not made any significant progress. Meanwhile, violence in the country has surged to new heights. While at one side Afghan security forces are being targeted on a daily basis, journalists, human rights activists and members of civil society too have come under the radar of terrorists. Recently, two female judges working for the Supreme Court were shot dead in the capital Kabul. No one claimed responsibility for the attack, however, Afghan officials have blamed the Taliban for a series of such attacks in the country.
