12 killed in militancy-related incidents in Kashmir
SRINAGAR:
Nine ultras, including four top militants of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen, were among the 12 people killed in separate militancy-related incidents across Jammu and Kashmir, an official spokesman said on Saturday.
A Pakistani national, functioning as chief administrator and financial controller of Jammu-Udhampur districts for LeT, Abu Mohammad Sayeed, was shot dead by troops of the nine Rashtriya Rifles in a gun battle at Nandimarg forest in Kulgam, 70 kms from here on Friday night, a defence spokesman said.
Terming Sayeed's killing as a major achievement, he said the Pakistani national, who hails from Lahore, oversaw LeT operations in Udhampur as the outfit's commander.
