Massive manhunt for militants continues in Kashmir | Security forces are continuing with their manhunt for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants hiding in the jungles of Pampore in southern Kashmir. Seventy two hours of their search and nab operation, the army has busted a terrorist hideout but failed to nab the
militants who managed to flee under the cover of fire. The manhunt was launched
in the wee hours of Monday. Choppers have been pressed into the operation to aid
in the tracking down of the terrorists hiding in the forests. Security forces
suspect that over nine terrorists, including Lashkar's South Kashmir commander
Abu Rehman Bhai are hiding under the thick green cover. Rahman, a Pakistani national,
is said to be behind the IED explosion that was triggered off in front of the
Srinagar Central Jail last month. The security forces have announced a reward
of Rs 10 lakh for anyone revealing the whereabouts of Rahman. According to sources,
Rehman was actively involved in convincing more youngsters of the state to join
ranks of the Lashkar. A red alert has been sounded across the state after the
terrorists had fled. A huge cache of arms and ammunition, blankets, mattresses,
and cartons of food, dry fruits and even water has been recovered from the busted
hideout. |
