NEW DELHI, Feb 4 (KUNA) -- Indian Army personnel killed as many two
terrorists in the country's northern most state of Jammu and Kashmir, reported
the Times Now news channel, Saturday.
The slain terrorists belonged to the terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT). They were hiding inside a house and the security personnel zeroed in on
them on the basis of a tip off.
The house in which the terrorists were hiding was badly destroyed in the
gunfight that lasted more than an hour.
The TV report quoted an Army spokesman as saying: "On specific information
about the presence of some terrorists, troops of the counter insurgency force
and the local police surrounded a house in a village of Pulwama district in
Kashmir."
He added: "The hiding terrorists were challenged to surrender on Saturday
morning, upon which they opened fire at the surrounding troops, triggering an
encounter."
The security forces did not suffer any damage in the gunfight. (end)
