Srinagar/Handwara, dec 11
At least three militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba were killed in a gunfight in north Kashmir’s frontier Kupwara district. A 25-year-old woman was also killed in the “crossfire”, triggering protests.
The gunfight erupted around 12.30 am when joint teams of the police, Army and the CRPF launched a cordon and search operation at Unisoo in Handwara, 70 km from Srinagar, after a specific input about the presence of militants. “The militants tried to break the cordon and fired indiscriminately. In the six-hour gunfight, three militants were killed.
Unfortunately a woman, Mysara, was inside the house where the militants were holed up and was wounded in the crossfire. She later succumbed,” said Deputy Inspector General of Police, north Kashmir, Vidhi Kumar Birdi.
“The other family members in the house where the militants were hiding were taken out by the forces.” The three slain Lashkar-e-Toiba militants are suspected to be Pakistan nationals.
Three AK rifles along with ammunition were recovered from the encounter site. While the security forces maintain that the three militants were killed during gunfight, sources, however, said one of the foreign militants was arrested in an injured condition during the gunfight. He succumbed to his injuries later.
As the news about the death of the woman spread in the area, a large number of people came out on streets to stage a protest against the killing.
The protesters shouted “pro-freedom” slogans and also blocked the Sopore-Handwara road for some time. The woman is survived by a 5-month-old baby girl and husband. Meanwhile, internet services were suspended in Kupwara district to foil protests.

New Delhi, December 11 A Delhi court has allowed further custody of the Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist, arrested recently along the Line of Control in Kashmir, to the National Investigation Agency till December 18.
The accused, identified as Mohammed Amir Awan, was arrested by the Army on November 24 from Handwara in north Kashmir during an intensive search launched after an encounter in the area on November 21 that had left three Lashkar militants dead.
One soldier was also killed in the encounter. District judge Poonam A Bamba extended his NIA custody after he was produced before the court on expiry of his earlier custody.
In its application, the probe agency told the court that the accused was needed for further custodial interrogation. The matter was transferred to the NIA, which had registered a case on November 26 and taken custody of the terrorist.
During initial interrogation, he had identified himself as Mohammed Amir Awan, whose code in the Lashkar terror group was Abu Haamaz, the NIA said.
The accused told his interrogators that he hailed from Bardiya town near Karachi and was recruited and trained by the terror group. He was allegedly pushed into Kashmir from Azad Kashmir to carry out attacks on important installations in the Valley, the NIA said. — PTI
