| The three terrorists who sneaked into Jammu and Kashmir and killed 10 people today, have been gunned down, the Indian Army has said.
Combing operations are currently on at the Army cantonment in the Samba district where the gunmen were killed after a four-hour-long gunbattle. The bodies of the three terrorists - aged between 16 and 19 - and believed to be from the banned Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba or LeT, are in the custody of the Army, officials said. Police sources have ruled out the possibility of a fourth terrorist.
The terrorists, dressed in army fatigues, today attacked first a police station and then an Army camp in J&K. A Lieutenant Colonel of the Indian Army is among the 10 people killed by them.
The audacious attack comes just three days before the Prime Minister meets his Pakistani counterpart in the US. Dr Manmohan Singh has called it "one more attack and barbarism by enemies of peace" and made it clear that his plans remain unchanged. "We will not allow it to derail our attempts to find resolution through the dialogue process," he said in a statement. (PM says J&K attacks won't derail dialogue with Pak) | (Read full statement)
"Four terrorists entered Jammu region from across the border this morning," said Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, quoting preliminary reports, according to PTI. The news agency also quotes the Army as saying that it foiled a major infiltration bid along the Line of Control in Keran sector of Kupwara yesterday and that around 30 militants are still believed to be trapped as security forces have cordoned off the area.
The heavily armed terrorists attacked the Hiranagar police station in Kathua district of J&K at about 6.45 this morning. They shot the sentry outside and three cops inside the police station and then escaped in a truck that they hijacked, to surface in an Army cantonment in the adjoining Samba district.
