SRINAGAR: In an intense encounter in Srinagar’s Khanyar area, security forces killed a Pakistani- terrorist identified as Usman, a commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), on Saturday. The encounter left four security personnel—two CRPF officers and two police officers—wounded. They were promptly taken to the Army’s 92 Base Hospital, where their condition was reported as stable.
The Let issued a statement on Usman’s death on social media, “After 20 years of courageously fighting on the battlefield of jihad against the occupying Indian forces, Commander Usman Bhai embraced martyrdom in the Srinagar operation. “Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him, we return.”
