LeT claims its activists were
in mosque to offer prayers

LeT activists got accidentally 'trapped' in the Shangus mosque as they had gone there to offer prayers and security forces cordoned it and opened fire on them, an LeT spokesman told media organisations in Srinagar.

"We don't open the mouth of our guns on anyone when we are in mosques to offer prayers but when we are attacked we retaliate," he added reacting to senior Hurriyat Conference leader Abdul Gani Lone asking militants to shun using mosques as sanctuaries.

Confirming the killing of six LeT activists in the shootout at Shangus mosque, he claimed two of its activists managed to slip away and reached their hideout in south Kashmir on Monday night.
