CRPF camp attacked

SRINAGAR, JULY 27. Militants tonight stormed a Central Reserve Police Force camp on the banks of the Dal Lake here, injuring five security personnel and setting off a gun battle, police said.

A two-member suicide squad of the Al-Mansoorian militant outfit barged into the camp, housed in Hotel Livard, around 8.40 p.m. and opened fire indiscriminately, killing a CRPF jawan and injuring two others, a sub-inspector and a BSF personnel. Securitymen looked for the holed up militants triggering the exchange of gunfire. — PTI
