Jammu: Two dreaded terrorists belonging to the Pakistan-backed militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) were killed by the security forces in a fierce gunbattle in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama on Saturday.
According to ANI, the encounter is still underway in the Litter village in Pulwama.
Two terrorists killed by the security forces have been identified as Wasim Shah and Hafiz Nisar.
Shah is believed to be the LeT's local area commander who was planning an attack on the security forces along with his aides including Nisar.
However, the troops involved in the operation got a tip off about them and eliminated them.
Based on specific intelligence inputs about the presence of militants in Litter village, the security forces launched an early morning operation, a police officer told IANS.
When the hiding militants fired at the approaching security personnel, the gun battle was triggered in which the two were killed.
The security forces have recovered 1 AK-47, 1 AK-56 and 6 AK magazine from the slain leT militants.
All the troops involved in the operation are reported to be safe.
The killing is part of security forces' ongoing crackdown on terrorists and several Pakistan-backed terror outfits.
Taking a tough stand on cross-border infiltration bids and terror-related incidents, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had recently said that at least five terrorists are being neutralised in Jammu and Kashmir “everyday”.
On October 11, two LeT militants were killed in an encounter in Bandipora district.
Two Garud Commandos of the Indian Air Force also attained martyrdom in the operation.
