Two militants responsible for attack
on 15 Corps headquarters killed
Bashir Ahmed Sofi in Srinagar
The army has gunned down two of the three militants who killed defence public relations officer Major P Purushottam and six others in a daring attack on the Indian Army's 15 Corps headquarters yesterday.
The hunt is on for the third Lashkar-e-Toiba militant, who is absconding, a senior army officer said at a press conference today. Among those killed are Lashkar's Srinagar district chief Abu Talha.
Giving details, Major General J R Mukherjee said the militants came in a bus and engaged a sentry posted at the cantonment board office. However, before soldiers at the main gate a few yards away could react, they crossed a small wall and entered the PRO office.
