SRINAGAR: Two Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were killed in an overnight encounter with security forces in Pulwama district of south Kashmir.
Security forces cordoned off Gursoo area in Pulwama district last evening following information about the presence of terrorists in the area. The security forces launched house to house search to arrest them, a police official said.
