NEW DELHI: Hours after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the government on Wednesday said that the terrorists who stormed the CRPF camp in Bemina area were most probably from Pakistan.
Union home secretary R K Singh said, "Prima facie evidence suggests that these (four) militants were from Pakistan. They killed five CRPF personnel and injured five others".
Singh said the government has alerted all its security units in the state. "Two militants were killed, but two are missing", he said, adding the five injured CRPF personnel are out of danger.
Singh was referring to the incident in Bemina area which was the first suicide attack in Kashmir in three years.
Two civilians were also injured during the attack.
The CRPF camp at Bemina is surrounded by the Police Public School and many government buildings. However, the school was closed due to strike called by separatists in support of their demand for return of mortal remains of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru.
This is the first suicide attack in Kashmir in the last three years with the last such incident taking place in January 2010.
