Two Pakistani terrorists were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri after a 24-hour-long encounter between security forces and terrorists.
One of the terrorists has been identified as Qari, a Pakistani national who held a high rank within the Lashkar-e-Taiba. He was sent to revive terrorism in the region. He is an expert in IEDs, operating and hiding from caves, and a trained sniper, the Defence Public Relations Officer (PRO) Jammu said.
“He has been trained on the Pakistan and Afghan front. He is a highly ranked terrorist leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba,” he said.
He has been active in Rajouri-Poonch along with his group for the past year and is also believed to be the mastermind of the Dangri and Kandi attacks.
Sources say the operation was launched on Wednesday morning after a man, a local Gujjar at Bajimal village was beaten by terrorists for denying food to them. The villagers reported the incident to security forces and eventually a massive anti-terrorist operation was launched in the area.
Senior army commanders are supervising the operation as the army says terrorists have been injured and surrounded by troops in the forest area.
