The killing of senior Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Mohd Asif, alias ‘Musa’, in an encounter in Budgam has dealt a “serious blow” to the Pakistan-based terror outfit’s network in Jammu and Kashmir, the Union Home Ministry said on Wednesday.
According to the MHA, the Army and other central security agencies had been pursuing Musa for a long time. A specific plan was put in place after technical and human intelligence inputs indicated his movement and presence in the area.
