Mukhtar Ahmad in Srinagar

A fidayeen (suicide attacker) of the dreaded Lashkar-e-Tayiba was shot dead shortly after he stormed a heavily-guarded Special Operations Group camp at Gagran Shopian in southern Pulwama district late on Monday night.

Two members of the Central Reserve Police Force, including Inspector H K Gupta, were also killed in the attack. Two critically wounded SOG jawans have been shifted to a hospital for treatment.

The fidayeen, identified by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba as Abu Talha, stormed the camp at Gagran lobbing grenades and firing from two assault rifles simultaneously.

Paramilitary reinforcements were rushed to the camp and the fidayeen was eliminated after a bloody exchange of fire that lasted over an hour.
