Six LeT infiltrators gunned down in J-KAgencies / Jammu Six Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists were shot dead by Indian army troops when they tried to sneak into the Indian territory in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said here on Tuesday . A large group of terrorists attempted to infiltrate from Nagni-Balnoie mountain range in the Krishna Ghati belt of the district around 11.50 p.m. Last night, they said. The alert jawans, who had put up nakas in the area following specific information about the infiltration bid, challenged the terrorists, leading to heavy exchange of fire between the two sides which continued for over five hours, they added. Six bodies of the LeT terrorists were found 100 metres inside the Indian territory, the sources said, adding other terrorists failed to enter the country and escaped back. The weapons recovered included six AK rifles, one Under Barrel Grenade Launcher, 11 UBGL grenades, 27 AK rifle magazines, eight Pakistani grenades and 17 Chinese grenades, they said. This is the fourth infiltration bid by terrorists along the Line of Control since April 26 wherein 22 terrorists have been gunned down in Poonch and Kupwara districts of the state. The Indian army said on Monday that troops had killed 90 terrorists since the launch of a cross-Kashmir bus service in early April. Posted by: john 2005-05-03 |
