Is Pak violating LoC truce pact?
JAMMU: Mystery shrouds the nature of a raging gunbattle at Sunderbani in Jammu and Kashmirs Rajouri district on Sunday. While the Army maintains its an encounter with holed-up terrorists, sources said Pakistan army, in violation of the four-year-old ceasefire, was launching attacks on Indian posts. Two soldiers and a terrorist have been killed so far in the exchange of fire that began five days ago."The encounter began after the Army foiled an infiltration bid by terrorists on November 28. Two jawans belonging to 18 J&K Rifles Havaldar Nirmal Singh and Lance Naik Narinder Chouhan were killed on Saturday. A terrorist was also killed. The encounter is going on," defence spokesman Lt Col S D Goswami said. On November 25, a jawan was killed and two others were injured in what was described as the first major violation of the four-year-old India-Pakistan ceasefire across the LoC and the international border. The Army, however, refused to describe it as ceasefire violation and maintained it was "hostile fire" from across the LoC. Posted by: john frum 2007-12-03 |
