Srinagar, June 09, 2007 – To disrupt the cause of Kashmir between India and Pakistan, Al-Qaeda  is reported to have  become active. Now Al-Qaeda has further claimed to have opened a new chapter as 'Struggle in Kashmir' and is trying to spread panic on both camps, who are trying to solve the issue peacefully and in friendly manners.

A DVD, circulated among media organizations in Srinagar, on Friday claims that the Al-Qaeda has opened its India chapter beginning with Kashmir. Comparing the "struggle in Kashmir" with struggles in the rest of the Muslim world, a man speaking through the DVD vows to ensure a "Khilafat" type of set-up in the world.

The 15-minute DVD, delivered at newspaper offices, shows a veiled militant with pouches of bullets hanging across his belly and chest and a gun besides him. He speaks in Urdu and quotes several verses from the Koran.

He also delivers a stern warning to both mainstream and separatist politicians in Kashmir for "selling out." He introduces the new chapter as "Al-Qaeda Fil Hind" and maintains that Kashmir would be used as a gateway to intensify "jehad" all over India. "Kashmir is our door to jehad in India," the man, who identifies himself as Abu Ibrahim Al Qasim, says.

The militant, reading out a written statement, names mainstream politicians Farooq Abdullah, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and says they are "misleading the people of Kashmir."

A statement allegedly issued by the Al-Qaeda's so-called India chief Abu Abdul Rehman Al-Ansari and delivered along with the DVD claimed that 1,000 copies of it were distributed in mosques across the Kashmir Valley.

Even if DVD is not found genuine, it is not a healthy sign for India and Pakistan.
