  • 5 years ago
At least nine people, including a lieutenant colonel of the Indian Army, were killed and four injured in twin terror attacks by a single "fidayeen" (suicide) squad in Kathua and Samba districts of Jammu region on Thursday morning. An unknown outfit Shohada Brigade, suspected to be Lashkar-e-Taiba's shadow or proxy name, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The twin attacks came ahead of the September 29 scheduled meet between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the United States.

Police sources said a group of three terrorists barged into the Hiranagar police station of Kathua district, around 60 kilometers from Jammu city, at around 06:45 hours. The gunmen fired at the police station indiscriminately, killing five cops and then fled away towards the highway.
On reaching Samba, about 40 kilometers from Jammu city, they entered the Army camp at Mesar, lobbed a grenade and fired indiscriminately.

Army has confirmed that it has ended its operation killing all the three terrorists who launched a deadly early-morning attack.
