Usman(Terrorist) came to kill Hindus: J&K

Pakistan’s stout denial on Thursday of Naved’s claim that he hails from Faisalabad and his father’s name is Mohammed Yaqub is very much the set pattern.

Two AK-47 rifles along with some magazines, grenade and ammunition were recovered from the terrorists and an FIR has been registered at Chenani Police Station.

NADRA officials said, according to their record, the images of the man arrested by India do not match any Pakistani citizen.

“He was hungry, so we stopped”.

“We especially salute the courage of the unarmed villagers, who despite grave risk to their lives overpowered a fully armed militant without consideration for their own security”.

The other militant was shot dead in the attack which began around 7.30 am and lasted for five hours.

Pakistani Rangers also violated the ceasefire by resorting to small arms firing and mortar shelling on 3 BoPs along the IB in Akhnoor sector in Jammu district on Tuesday. Pathak said he would not like to draw any conclusions or similarities between the terror incident in Gurdaspur in Punjab on July 27 and the one near Udhampur.

It is learnt that Naved also named LeT trainers in Muzaffarabad – Waleed and Haroon, who were part of the batch of 11 terror operatives trained by the LeT for fidayeen attacks against India. “If prior intelligence input had been given, they should have properly sealed the borders”.

Security forces have been asked to be on maximum alert in view of the threat perceptions.

“We strongly condemn the attack and the persistent attempts by terrorists from across the border to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir”, Home Minister Rajnath Singh told parliament.

Members of the village defence committee and local police had captured Naved on Wednesday after an attack on a BSF convoy on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.

Meanwhile vehicular movement on the highway has been stopped after the attack. “Worrying development because that area was militant-free”, he said.

He also expressed regret over the death of two BSF troopers, and those injured in the “mindless violence”.

On August 2 and 3, Pakistani troops had violated the ceasefire four times by resorting to small arms firing in forward posts along LoC in Krishnagati, Mandi, Balakote and Pallanwala sectors of Poonch and Jammu districts.

At the same time, he said there is best possible security along worldwide Border and it is not easy to cross over to this side.
