Six Pakistani terrorists killed in Kashmir (Second Lead)

JAMMU - Six Pakistani terrorists belonging to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were killed in a fierce gunfight in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district Thursday.

The terrorists died when soldiers and policemen raided their hideout in Kalakote area, 200 km north of Jammu.

“All of them are Pakistanis and belong to Lashkar,” Senior Superintendent of Police Shafkat Watali told IANS on telephone from Rajouri.

“This is one of the biggest achievements of the security forces against militants,” he said.

This was the second gun battle in the area in three days.

The Indian Army has stepped up its vigil along the Line of Control (LoC), which divides Kashmir between India and Paksitan, to foil infiltration by terrorists from Pakistan.
