Procedural Lapses, Lack of Coordination Led to Uri Attack: Probe

Initial investigations into the terror attack on a highly-guarded army camp in Kashmir here have pointed towards several procedural lapses including lack of coordination between two guard posts. The National Investigation Agency, meanwhile, was finishing documentation work in the case besides effecting seizures of material evidence from the scene of attack. The investigators probing the deadly attack in which 18 soldiers were killed have also found that the perimeter of the highly sensitive Brigade Headquarter of the Army was not properly fenced at several places, official sources said on Thursday. The probe also pointed towards the possibility of the four terrorists involved in the attack having sneaked in from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir through Haji Peer Pass on the intervening night of 16 or 17 September and stayed put at village Sukhdar, overlooking the Brigade headquarter.
