Two intruders killed as army foils infiltration bid in Kashmir
April 4th, 2010 - 1:01 pm ICT by IANSSrinagar, April 4 (IANS) The Indian Army Sunday killed two intruders on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district and foiled yet another infiltration bid of the guerrillas.
“Two terrorists were killed by the alert troopers of the army in Keran sector of the LOC today (Sunday) thus foiling yet another infiltration bid by the terrorists from across the border,” Lt Col J.S. Brar, the army’s spokesperson here told IANS.
He said the identity of the guerrillas has not been established yet and further searches were on in the area.
Eight guerrillas were killed by the army in the same sector late last month in a fierce gunfight that raged for three days there.
With intelligence inputs suggesting that around 400 guerrillas had been waiting to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir this summer, the army and other security forces have been put on maximum alert.
As part of their preparedness to thwart infiltration bids, the army has launched an operation named ‘Khoj’ in Rajouri district of Jammu region where 14 guerrillas were recently killed in different gunfights between the security forces and the guerrillas.
