SRINAGAR: An IED expert of a banned outfit was among four terrorists killed in south Kashmir on Saturday—two at Hardumir village in Awantipora of Tral in Pulwama district and another two in Chowgam, Shopian. This took the number of terrorists killed in the past two days in south Kashmir to five.
Another gunfight with terrorists broke out on Saturday night in the Srigufwara area of Anantnag district in south Kashmir. Details are awaited, an officer said.
Earlier in the morning, another joint team of security forces killed two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists in Shopian following a shootout.
Kashmir IGP Vijay Kumar said in a tweet that Rahi Rasool Bhat alias Adil, an IED expert of terrorist organisation Ansar-ul-Gazwat-ul-Hind (AuGH), and an associate named Nadeem Nazir Bhat were gunned down in Tral.
Both were residents of Tral and involved in several cases of IED and grenade blasts.
A joint team of J&K Police, Army and CRPF raided a house based on information that terrorists were holed up there. The terrorists were told to surrender, but they fired their AK-47s and were killed in retaliatory action, police said. Two of those rifles, ammunition and incriminating materials were found at the site.
