3 LeT militants killed in Lolab
[Daily Excelsior] Three Lions of Islam of Lashkar-e-Taiba...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) were killed during a shootout at Lolab in North Kashmire’s Kupwara district today while a top LeT commander and his associates slipped out of cordon in South Kashmire’s Pulwama district. Army’s 28 Rashtirya Rifles (RR) and Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmire Police cordoned off the forest area near Gujjarpati village in Putshahi area of Lolab in Kupwara district last night after specific information about the presence of 3-4 Lions of Islam in the area. Security forces fired several probing shots and Lions of Islam immediately responded and opened a volley of gun fire at the troops leading to a fierce shootout. Three Lions of Islam were killed in the shootout. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... their identity is yet to be ascertained. They are believed to be Paks. Three AK 47 rifles, three UBGLs, 387 AK 47 rounds, 10 AK 47 magazines, three pouches, three bags, three water proof Trousers and 40 biscuit packets were recovered from the encounter site. Reports said that one of the Lions of Islam of the group was killed on April 6 and others had managed to escape and one of these Lions of Islam was injured in that operation. Security forces were tracking these Lions of Islam since then and today they were killed. A defence front man said here that in a major blow to the myrmidon outfits, the security forces today eliminated three Lions of Islam in Lolab, Kupwara. "On receiving specific information about the presence of some forces of Evil in Putsai Village, in Lolab, Kupwara, Army and police launched a joint operation. As the Security Forces closed in towards the suspect area, they drew a heavy volume of indiscriminate fire from the cornered terrorists", the front man said. The front man said that conscious of the presence of innocent civilians who were being used as human shields by the myrmidons, the security forces gave a very calibrated response and in the ensuing firefight killed three heavily armed Lions of Islam without causing any collateral damage. "A large quantity of arms and ammunition has been recovered from the forces of Evil which includes three AK 47 rifles and three UBGLs besides other war like stores", the front man said. "In yet another operation launched in Zudur, Pulwama security forces recovered a cache of war like stores including ammunition and grenades", the front man added. Police said that this morning on specific information Police Kupwara along with 28 RR cordoned Gujjar Pathi Pathushahi in the jurisdiction of Police Station Sogam. "The Lions of Islam hiding in the area fired upon the security forces. The fire was retaliated and an encounter ensued. Three unidentified Lions of Islam were killed in the encounter. 3 AK 47 Rifles, 3 UBGLs, 387 AK 47 rounds, 10 AK 47 magzines, 3 Pouches, 3 gags, 3 trousers (water proof), and 40 biscuit packets were recovered from the encounter site", police front man said. The front man said: "A case FIR number 21/16 under Section 307 RPC, 7/27 IA Act has been registered. After completion of legal formalites, the bodies were handed over to Local Auqaf of Village Pothushahi for burial." In the meantime, a group of Lions of Islam including LeT divisional commander, Abu Dujana, this afternoon managed to flee from the security forces cordon in Pulwama district of South Kashmire. A police officer said that acting on a tip off from the always reliable Mahmoud the Weasel, a joint team of Army’s 55 RR, SOG and CRPF launched cordon-and-search operation at Bulbul Bagh area of Malwar village of Zadur in South Kashmire. "Soon after the joint team of forces reached near the suspected spot the Lions of Islam hiding in the area opened fire upon them and managed to break the forces cordon," the officer said. As the security forces intensified the combing operation in Zadur and its adjacent areas to trace out the fleeing myrmidons, the locals in large numbers came out and clashed with the police and paramilitary forces to help the fleeing myrmidons. The police and CRPF who were deployed in the area chased the youth and fired tear smoke shells to disperse them. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... they hurled stones on them leading to festivities. Security forces recovered 4 UBGL grenades, 3 AK magazines, 90 AK rounds and one pouch. Posted by: Fred 2016-04-22 |
