An Army trooper was killed and another injured in a gun battle with militants holed up in the forest area of Handwara in the Kupwara District on April 8, reports Daily Excelsior. Acting on a tip off about presence of militants, Security Forces (SFs) launched a search operation in the forests of Kramhour-Rajwar in Handwara. During the operation the troops came under heavy firing from the militants in which two soldiers were injured. One of the injured soldiers later succumbed to injuries. Three to four militants of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), including the most wanted ‘commander’ of the outfit, Abdullah Uni, are believed to be holed up in the forest area. The militants were already operating in the hinterland of the Valley and were not infiltrators. However, intelligence sources said Uni, a Pakistani national, might have been on his way back to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Uni is the top ranked LeT ‘commander’ in North Kashmir and has managed to escape the dragnet of SFs at least five times in the last five to six months. He is considered to be the brain behind all the major attacks on SFs and Police informers in Sopore and adjoining areas over the past couple of years.
