...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...
grabbed credit of the attack.

Today’s attack is the third of its kind in Srinagar in three days. On Saturday, three army men were maimed when snuffies attacked their convoy at JVC Bemina. One policeman was killed and 14 others were maimed at Nowhatta last evening when snuffies hurled a grenade on police and CRPF.

Speaking to news hounds today at the wreath laying ceremony of police man killed in grenade attack at Nowhatta last evening, Director General of Police, S P Vaid said that security forces will devise a strategy to deal with showering of bullets and hurling of grenades at them behind the stone pelting mob.

"Our jawans have been facing bullets from behind the pelting mob. Grenade is also part of that greater design. We will devise strategy to deal with it. And I am sure with our experience we will handle it", he said.

The police chief said that such attacks that took place last year as well will only bring death and destruction. "Last year when situation was bad, similar attack occurred that time as well. Such attacks only result in death and destruction and bloodshed and nothing else is achieved by them. My heart goes out to the family which has lost their dear one", he said.

Vaid said that presence of mobile phones in jail is a security breach. "The mobile phones were recovered after a search. It is a security breach. We have taken them into custody and they (inmates) will face action", he said.

He said that the cyber forensic team will fully investigate and will check all the numbers and then action will be taken.
