Within a fortnight of the fidayeen attack on CRPF camp at Bemina in which five jawans were shot dead, militants armed with AK-47 rifles struck at BSF vehicles on the busy national highway here killing one jawan and wounding two others. The attack comes a day after a teenager was chased down a mosque in Sopore and killed for organizing cricket matches with the help of Army units.
The deceased BSF man was identified as constable Kalita Kumar, a BSF spokesman said. Police and CRPF men cordoned off the area where the attack took place, which is just five km from Lal Chowk, and launched a search operation in the interiors of Nowgam and Gulshan Nagar.
Internal security sources said that the terrorists likely came in from Budshahi Bagh area to attack Army convoys. The highway is used routinely by the Army and paramilitary forces. The militants disappeared after the shooting.
