In a major terrorist strike on a civilian locality in Rajiv Nagar in Jammu, on July 13, unidentified terrorists killed approximately 25 persons including 12 women and a child and injured 35 others and later escaped from the incident site. The terrorist attack, which came nine days before the commencement of the annual Amarnath pilgrimage was targeted against civilians of Rajiv Nagar near Qasim Nagar, primarily inhabited by labourers. According to a media report, this was the first terrorist incident of its kind on the peripheries of the city. Security forces (SFs) later carried out a search operation in Sidhra, a possible escape route of the terrorists, who numbered between three to five. However, no arrests have been made thus far in connection with the massacre. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Jammu-Kathua range, Dilbagh Singh, later said that at least four to five terrorists, all of whom were reportedly wearing dresses of Sadhus (pilgrims), descended on Rajiv Nagar after trekking through two hills of Bhatindi parallel to two towers. The terrorists, equipped with AK rifles and grenades, first made the devotees, who were offering prayers inside a temple, their target. They lobbed grenades on the temple and resorted to indiscriminate firing. All the victims were reportedly slum dwellers of Rajiv Nagar and many of them were labourers from the States of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. This was third major terrorist incident in Jammu and outskirts during the last three and a half months. On March 30, two fidayeens (suicide terrorists) had struck near the Ragunath temple killing 11 civilians. As reported earlier, the suicide terrorists were killed within 10 minutes of the attack. On May 14, three fidayeens stormed inside the family quarters of SFs at Kaluchak killing 32 persons and injuring several others. All the three fidayeen in this incident were also killed.
