Hizb splits

ISLAMABAD JULY 10. A dominant faction of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, owing allegiance to the late Abdul Majid Dar, has merged with another militant group, the Hizb-e-Islami, after irreconcilable differences with the Hizb leader, Syed Salahuddin, a daily report said today. Sources said efforts for reunification by the two Hizb factions, prominent Kashmiri leadership and the Jamaat-e-Islami had failed. ``All top commanders of the Dar group and majority of its mujahideen joined the Hizb-e-Islami but some mujahideen refused to work under the new flag and leadership and they returned to their parent organisation,'' the report said. — PTI
