Lashkar-e-Taiba’s (LeT) highly-trained ‘commander’ and his associate were killed in a 24-hour gunfight in Rajouri’s Kalakote in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. One more soldier succumbed to his injuries in the incident, taking the toll to five, including two Army Captains.
“A hard core top LeT commander, Qari, and his associate, were eliminated and large quantities of war-like stores have been recovered from the encounter site. Qari was known to be the mastermind behind the Dangri incident,” a Jammu-based Army spokesman said.
