| Soon after triggering explosions in and outside the bogies of Delhi-bound Shalimar Express on Sunday night, terrorists carried out a series of attacks in their bid to escape and cross over the border to Pakistan. The terrorists, suspected to be Lashkar-e-Taiba members, killed five persons, including three soldiers, and injured 11 others. Among the injured were an army Major and an NDTV cameraman. However, security forces gunned down two of the three militants in an encounter, which is still on in the border town of Akhnoor about 25-30 kms from here. After the explosions, the militants trekked one-and-a-half kilometres and stopped an Indica car at Gagwal on Jammu-Pathankote highway and fired indiscriminately on the occupants, killing two persons and injuring four others.
