Search on for militants after IAF convoy attack
The HinduMilitants behind the attack on an Indian Air Force convoy at Surankote in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, which left one jawan dead and four others injured, remained untraced on Sunday even as helicopters provided aerial support for combing operations in the forest area. Sources also said security forces questioned a number of people to gather information on those who provided logistic support to the militants. Meanwhile, president of the State Congress unit Vikar Rasool said, “The tall and hollow claims of the BJP have yet again been exposed by the terrorist attack in Poonch. The situation has worsened in the Rajouri-Poonch area under the BJP rule.” National Conference president Dr. Farooq Abdullah said the BJP’s claim that Article 370 was responsible for terrorism now stands exposed.
