Three terrorists are trained in jungle warfare and can live in natural caves for days : J&K Police

New Delhi, June 12

Three Pakistani terrorists, believed to be involved in the attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi belonged to the same group that targeted an Indian Air Force (IAF) convoy in Poonch on May 4.

Shocking details have emerged that these three terrorists were hiding in J&K after Poonch attack. 

The officials said that so far the probe suggests that they travelled through the jungles after the Poonch attack. They then attacked the bus carrying pilgrims who were returning to Katra from Shiv Khori temple in Reasi, killing nine people and injuring 33 others.

The three terrorists are trained in jungle warfare and can live in natural caves for days. 

The J&K Police are still carrying out a massive search operation and suspect involvement of more men who are believed to be hiding in the periphery. 

The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba terror outfit, initially claimed responsibility for the attack, but retracted its statement later.

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced financial aid of Rs 10 lakh to the families of the victims of the Reasi terror attack. Those injured in the incident would be given Rs 50,000.
