RAJOURI/JAMMU, Aug 16: With the killing of all the three trapped Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants in a gunbattle at Saronwali in Thanamandi, Rajouri, the 60-hour-long operation was called off this afternoon.
While two of the militants were shot dead Sunday, one was killed this morning, police sources said, adding they were suspected to have infiltrated into the Indian territory from across the Line of Control (LoC).
Sources said after the two militants were killed yesterday, the third continued firing intermittently throughout last night.He was ultimately killed by the troops at about 11 am today, the sources added.While those killed yesterday were identified as Abdul Jarar and Sajid Kashmiri, identity of the one killed today was established as Abu Ali of Pakistan.
All the three bodies had been recovered and handed over to locals for their burial.
Three AK rifles along with 10 magazines and 87 rounds, one IED switch, two Chinese grenades, one binocular, five matrix sheets, three earphones, umbrellas, one mobile phone along with seven batteries, 10 pencil cells, painkiller injections of voveran, three copies of the holy Quran, seven ballpoint pens, four toothpastes, boroplus antiseptic cream, diaries, incriminating documents, several Pak made medicines and a large quantity of other daily use items
were recovered from the slain militants.
Sources said after the third militant was killed today, the troops made searches in the maize fields and the adjoining forests, but could not find any more militants. The operation was then called off
in the afternoon, the sources added.The jawans also could not find any clue to the whereabouts of the three militants, who for two days gave cover fire to the killed militants from a distance.
Sources said the militants had dug up pits in the fields and taken positions in them to save themselves from the jawans' bullets.
After the August 11 attack by them on two army vehicles and a Video Coach at Manyal Gali in Thanamandi, they were tracked down by police and army jawans in the nearby maize fields at Saronwali on August 14.
While an army jawan was killed yesterday after being hit by the militants' bullets, a Major, a SPO and a civilian had sustained critical bullet injuries. All of them were hospitalised.
SP, Rajouri, Shabir Choudhary said police were scrutinising certain documents recovered from the slain militants. |
