Jammu, October 19, 2013: One soldier was critically injured after terrorists fired at an army patrol in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Saturday.

The area in Handwara, where the firing took place, has been cordoned and soldiers are searching for the attackers.

 

The firing comes as terrorists based in Pakistan made their biggest-ever infiltration attempts at 25 locations along the International Border in Jammu and Samba sectors since Friday night.

One infiltrator was killed after the BSF fired back.

Alerts have been issued in border villagers to watch out for the infiltrators.

The infiltration bid came after Pakistani Rangers targeted 24 Border Security Force (BSF) posts from Paharpur in Kathua district to Pargwal in Akhnoor the entire night.

Pakistani Rangers were also using 82 MM mortar to hit civilian areas of border villages, said BSF sources.

They said Pakistan’s spy agency the ISI was trying to force Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists along the 110 km border.

The Pakistani Rangers are giving cover fire to the terrorists, who are planning more Samba-style suicide attacks in Jammu and other parts of country.

BSF sources said one terrorist was killed and his body is lying near the zero line in Suchatgarh area of RS Pura sector in Jammu.

BSF has not been able to retrieve the body amid firing by Pakistani Rangers.

Intelligence sources said more than 50 terrorists are waiting near the border to enter Indian territory.
