| [Daily Excelsior] An Army jawan slipped to death in Handwara area of North Kashmire’s Kupwara district during a shootout with bully boyz as massive searches continued for second day against a Lion of Islam group that was intercepted by security forces yesterday. The Army man, Om Veer Singh of 21-Rashtriya Rifles (RR), fell from a ridge in Rajwar forests after a brief exchange of gunfire with bully boyz of Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) last night. Sources said that as the Army and Police launched searches at Bawan Watsar area of Rajwar forests in Handwara last night, bully boyz fired upon them. They said that the since bully boyz were wearing the night vision devices, they spotted the Army party and fired at them leading to a fierce shootout. He said that the shootout last for 20 minutes but bully boyz managed to escape under the cover of darkness and firing. A top security official said that more troops belonging to 30 RR and 6 RR were rushed to the spot and more area was cordoned off last night to prevent bully boyz from fleeing the forest area. The searches were again started this morning and were continuing till last reports came in. A top security official said that they spotted six members of a 10 member Lashkar-e-Taiba Lion of Islam group against whom they had launched searches two weeks ago after they received information about their presence in the forest area. Army launched a massive operation in North Kashmire’s Kupwara forests against this group after reports that 10 bully boyz infiltrated into the forest area from Pakistain Indian Kashmiree (PoK) last month. These bully boyz infiltrated into the forests of Budnambal during the intervening night of April 18 and 19 from PoK. Army’s 19-Maratha initially launched operation against them. However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... after they failed to trace out the group, another operation was launched by Army’s 28-RR, 18-RR and Special Operations Group (SOG) of Police, Kupwara, in Patushai, Kantpora and Shumbreyal forest areas. Army had already inputs that the bully boyz may try to sneak into Kashmire in large numbers this year into Kashmire and they have intensified patrolling along the LoC. In the meantime, driver of a police officer was injured in a grenade attack in Anantnag town of South Kashmire today. The grenade lobbed at old SP office building in Anantnag went kaboom!on the premises, resulting in injuries to SP Vigilance’s driver. Three vehicles were damaged in the blast. Soon after the attack, security forces cordoned the area to find the attacker, but no arrests were made. This is the second grenade attack in Anantnag town during last two weeks. On April 28, a grenade was thrown at a Sher- Bagh Police Post. There was, however, no injury in the blast. |
