BSF camp near Srinagar airport attacked; ASI and 3 militants killed

Srinagar, October 3 : Security forces foiled an attempt by the Jaish-e-Mohammed to storm a BSF camp near the high-security Srinagar airport on Tuesday, killing all three militants in an operation that also claimed the life of an assistant sub-inspector of the force, police said.
State Director General of Police SP Vaid said the three terrorists who had sneaked into the BSF camp had been “neutralized”.
“We are carrying out search operations inside the premises to rule out the possibility of planting of explosives,” he said. Officials in the know of developments said there was prior intelligence that a Jaish-e-Mohammed operative identified as Noora Trali had brought in a suicide squad into the city.Briefing reporters later, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) Muneer Khan said the over-ground network of the terror group had been identified but did not divulge any further information.Asked specifically whether Jaish-e-Mohammed was behind the attack, Khan said, “Such attacks have been carried out only by this group.”Assistant Sub-Inspector BK Yadav was killed and three BSF jawans injured when the three militants entered the BSF battalion headquarters at Gogoland, adjacent to the airport.
