Hence security forces should consider stone-pelters as terrorists and shoot them so that no security personals are hurt or killed ! – Editor, Hindujagruti
Srinagar : Terrorists in the guise of stone-pelters opened fire and hurled a hand grenade on security forces in Tral town on Friday afternoon. Nine security personnel, including four cops, were injured in the attack.
Soon, terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack. According to a local news agency, Hizb’s operational spokesperson Burhanuddin said the attack was carried out on the forces “when they were on their way to suppress people”.
Police spokesman SP Manoj Panditha said terrorists lobbed a hand grenade and followed it up by firing on security forces when they were busy with law-and-order duties on Tral Road, resulting in injuries to the nine security personnel. He said security forces exercised maximum restraint even after being attacked by the terrorists in order to prevent any civilian casualties.
Following the attack, security forces dominated the area and started a search operation to apprehend the militants, Panditha said.
