NEW DELHI : Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde today said the two terrorists, who were killed after they attacked CRPF personnel in Srinagar, were suspected to be of foreign origin.
The Home Minister, making a statement in the Rajya Sabha, said from the terrorists two diaries, one each containing numbers suspected to be of Pakistan, were recovered.
Mr Shinde said the terrorists made a fidayeen attack on the CRPF personnel at Bemina within Parimpora police station in Srinagar at about 1050 hrs yesterday, killing five CRPF jawans.
About 50 CRPF personnel of 73rd battalion had assembled in the Police Public School ground at Bemina for further deployment for law and order duties.
”Taking advantage of the small gap in the fencing, which is generally used by the local youth for their access to the ground, two unidentified armed terrorists in civilian clothes carrying arms, ammunitions and grenade hidden in their kits entered the play ground and mingled with the local youth.
The terrorists took out their gear, lobbed the grenades and opened indiscriminate firing on the CRPF personnel,” he added. (AGENCIES)
