Two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, including one of the main recruiters of the outfit, were killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district on Wednesday, police said.

Wearing sunglasses and flaunting fancy cellphones, Waseem Malla and Zakir Bhat, both in their twenties, were not two regular men who snapped selfies standing in an upscale Srinagar neighbourhood recently.

The 21-year-old commander of the terror group Hizbul Mujahideen is the star of a new video that's being circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp in an attempt to recruit young Kashimiri men.

Over 60 young men have joined militants in the last five months in the militant stronghold of South Kashmir, giving rise to what, the police fear, could result in a second wave of militancy in the Valley.

A group photo of smiling young Kashmiri men, allegedly terror recruits, in army fatigues is being widely circulated on Facebook.

NDTV has gained access to an exclusive video of the terror outfit, the Hizbul Mujahideen and one of its key leaders Shahdeen Khanday. The video has been shot by the militants on a cell phone to promote their cause and it shows Khanday posing with a 12-bore rifle in one hand and a bird in the other.
