Border Security Force and Jammu and Kashmir Police personnel on Friday morning gunned down a top Lashkar-e-Tayiba militant near Budgam.

Mazoor Zahid Choudhry, a self-styled chief coordinator of the militant outfit, was shot dead when the police, who had laid an ambush for a group of militants, retaliated when the group started lobbing grenades at being challenged.

A BSF spokesman told rediff.com that arms and ammunition, a satellite phone, documents and a laptop computer were found on the slain militant.

A police source said a preliminary perusal of the documents and computer revealed Choudhry was involved in the Akshardham temple attack and the massacre of pandits in Nadimarg.
