Adil Ahmad Dar was newbie terrorist, became militant a year ago

Adil Ahmad Dar, the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) operative responsible for killing a number of CRPF personnel in Kashmir's Pulwama district, had only recently joined JeM and had become a militant only in February 2018.

The well-planned attack used a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (known as VBIED) to target a CRPF bus that was part of a 70-vehicle convoy.
