Terrorists Of ‘Afzal Guru Squad’ Storm Srinagar BSF Camp Soldier Dead

Suicide attackers carrying a massive amount of explosives broke into a Border Security Force (BSF) camp near the Srinagar airport before dawn today and opened fire, killing one soldier. Three terrorists have been killed. Firing is still on as more terrorists are in the sprawling, hilly campus, which shares a wall with an air force station.

Pakistan-based terror group Jaish e Mohammed’s “Afzal Guru squad” has claimed the attack.

A group of four or five terrorists in military fatigues breached four layers of security at BSF’s 182 battalion at 3.45 am, when it was still dark. They fired indiscriminately and threw grenades. The soldiers retaliated and shot down one of the attackers. The body of a BSF jawan was found during searches.

Gunfire and explosions were heard for hours as the forces, including Quick Action Teams and members of the Special Operations Group, tried to corner the terrorists. Home Ministry sources have expressed concern that the terrorists were able to cut through multiple layers of security.
