2006-01-17 |
The Jammu and Kashmir police yesterday claimed to have killed the main conspirator of last yearâs Delhi explosions in a north Kashmir encounter. Police also said another conspirator was injured in the operation that was launched after specific information from Delhi police. Serial blasts on Oct. 29, ahead of Diwali, or the Hindu festival of lights, last year killed 66 people in the national capital. âOn specific information passed on to us from Delhi police, a well coordinated operation was launched by the state police and the troops of the Rashtriya Rifles,â senior Kashmir police officer K. Rajendra said. âThe operation in Khour village started early Monday morning. We have killed Abdullah Bhai alias Abu Huzaifa, the top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander so far and another terrorist, identified as Ali Mohammad alias Abu Zarar was injured and searches are on to locate him,â Rajendra added. The officer said the two militants had been hiding in a house in Khour village of Pattan tehsil in Baramulla district, 40 km from Kashmirâs summer capital of Srinagar. |
