Two LeT militants killed in Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu: Two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militants were gunned down by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Wednesday morning.

On a tip-off, a joint police and Rashtriya Rifles team launched a search operation in Sedhi Chochana village in the border district at midnight, a defence spokesperson said. The militants tried to flee but the troops chased them and in the ensuing gunfight, Abu Qasim and Abu Hyder — both from Pakistan — were killed.

Two AK rifles with their four magazines and 120 bullets, three grenades, one mobile phone and one wireless set were recovered from them. — PTI
