'Major breakthrough' ahead of polls as 3 powerful IEDs seized in J&K’s Poonch

The Hindu  

Three ready-to-use improvised explosive devices, each weighing between three to 20 kgs, were recovered from a terrorist hideout in the border district of Poonch on April 17, officials said. The IEDs, planted inside steel containers of five-kg, 10-kg and 20-kg capacity, were found hidden inside a cave hideout during a joint search operation by the police, CRPF and Rashtriya Rifles in the forest area of Sanai-Gursai in the Mendhar sub-division, the officials said. They said the bomb disposal squad later destroyed all the three IEDs in a controlled explosion, scuttling terrorists' plan to carry out blasts in the Union Territory. "Three IEDs, one weighing 15 to 20 kgs, second eight to 10 kgs and third three to five kgs, having two mechanisms for initiating charge were recovered and destroyed,” CRPF officer Rajnesh Yadav said.
