Hizb splits

Islamabad March 27. The Pakistan-based militant group, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, has split, with a dominant section rejecting the leadership of Syed Salahuddin and forming a separate unit in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir following the killing of its former chief commander, Abdul Majid Dar.

``We have launched our own faction of the Hizb,'' Tufail Ahmed, a former operational chief of the outfit and supporter of Dar, was quoted as saying by the Pakistani daily Dawn here today.
