Jammu and Kashmir police claimed on Monday to have scuttled a plan of the Lashker-e-Tayiba to attack Amarnath pilgrims following the killing of two hardcore Pakistani terrorists in the state.
The two Pakistan-based terrorists of the LeT were killed in an encounter with police at village Nagabal-Derand in Ganderbal district on Sunday night, foiling a plan of the outfit to attack the pilgrims on their return from the cave shrine, a police spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the encounter took place after police cordoned off the village along the Srinagar-Leh national highway following intelligence inputs that LeT terrorists were planning to attack a yatra convoy bound for Srinagar from the Baltal base camp.
The slain ultras were identified as Syed Abid Ahmad alias Akasha of Narwal-Punjab
