Pathankot Attacks: Focus on NIA probe

Combing operations were underway today to sanitise the air base here that was under siege for four days after terrorists struck the forward installation even as the focus shifted to the probe in the terror strike with the NIA chief arriving here for an on-the-spot assessment. Security officials said today that the combing operations may continue for a day or two at the forward base where seven security personnel and six terrorists were killed. With the focus shifting on investigation, anti-terror probe agency NIA’s chief Sharad Kumar will arrive here in the afternoon for an on-the-spot assessment. Mr. Kumar had said yesterday that solving the conspiracy behind the attack was a “very big challenge” but recalled how the agency had in the past established the identity of culprits in many blind cases.
