POONCH: Grenade is 'aloo', explosive is 'atta' and American President George Bush is 'Khanzir' (evil) in network centric communication in Jammu and Kashmir, militants have authored a terror lexicon to fox security forces with its coded idiolect.
"Over 1000-1200 code words are part of militant's terror dictionary for their usages in conversations through the Network Centric Communication inside the state and from neighbouring Pakistan for foxing forces," senior army officials said here.
The focus of this terror lexicon is safe and secure conversation, they said, adding that both security forces and intelligence agencies have, however, decoded most of the code words and it is getting updated every time with new phraseology, vocabulary and jargon.
Militant's idiolect uses 'khanzir' (evil) to name George Bush and 11/9 for the United States.
In militants' idiolect pika gun is termed as 'raja' (king), machine gun as 'rani' (queen), gun as 'shadi' (marriage), AK rifle as 'biwi' (wife) and pistol as 'muna'.
Similarly, in case of explosives terror lexicon names RDX as 'milk powder', improvised explosive device as 'zameen dooz' (underground) and rockets as 'udan gajar' (flying carrots).
"All troops posted in counter-insurgency areas and forward defence locations along line of control are keeping a ready "militants' dictionary" to understand the intercepts of militants' conversation, officials said.
The idiolect terms infiltration as 'barat' (marriage party), killing as 'mike' and 'alvida', arrest as 'catch', line clear as 'leama papa', road as 'dariya' (river), receive as 'romeo' and meeting as 'mukka' besides crossing the LoC in the night as 'layal'.
Similarly, the Pakistan army is called as 'jin', foreign mercenary as 'mehman' (guest), Indian army as 'latu pattu', militant as 'akwah', senior militant commander as 'buzarg', matyr as 'sheera', helicopter as 'parinda', and informer as 'faloose'.
While the militant dictionary has named Pakistan occupied Kashmir's capital Muzaffarabad as 'mike papa', Poonch as 'papa LoC', Rajouri as 'romeo LoC', Kashmir as 'jungal', Bin Laden as 'mashal-e-din' (light of Islam), Afghanistan as 'kabar' (grave), and Pakistan as 'tarisgah' (school), it said.
