2 LeT Terrorists Killed By Security Forces In Kashmir’s Baramulla, 2nd Encounter In 24 Hours

Security forces killed at least two terrorists in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Thursday morning.

Police said incriminating materials, arms and ammunition, including an AK 47 rifle and one pistol, were recovered.

Second encounter in 24 hours

This is the second encounter in the last 24 hours as the security forces have been put on a high alert in the wake of intelligence inputs that terrorists are preparing for a major attack in next few days.

The slain terrorists, identified as Shakir Majid Najar and Hanan Ahmad Seh from the Shopian district, belonged to proscribed terror outfit LeT. Both joined terrorism in March this year, said Additional Director General of Police, Kashmir.

Infiltration bid foiled in Kupwara

On Wednesday, police and army thwarted an infiltration bid at Line of Control in Machil sector of Kupwara district. Two unidentified terrorists were killed during the operation.

According to the Army, two AK rifles, arms, and ammunition were recovered from the encounter site.

High alert in Jammu

Meanwhile, following intelligence inputs, a high alert has been declared in Jammu that terrorists are readying for major regional attacks.

Sources say all the Army installations along the Jammu-Pathankot National Highway were put on alert, and schools inside cantonment areas in Jammu, Samba and Kathua were closed on Wednesday in the wake of threat perception.

Jammu region has been high on terrorist radar and is spreading to the region, which was almost free from terrorists.

Last month, five Army personnel were killed, and another was seriously injured after terrorists in Poonch attacked their vehicle.

Their vehicle was ambushed by “unidentified terrorists”, who “took advantage of heavy rains and low visibility”.
