Two para commandos and two militants were killed in gunbattles in the Maidanpora forests of Lolab in Kupwara as operations spread over six days ended today. While the Army said they were still trying to establish the identity of the militants, police named them as Abu Zarar and Abu Mawiah of the Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Security forces are trying to find out if the militants belonged to a Lashkar team in the area or were from a group that had managed to evade troops after infiltrating in Gurez. A group of infiltrators, numbering between 15 and 25, had been intercepted by the Army near the Hajibal forests close to the Line of Control. While one militant was killed in a firefight, the rest melted into the forests.
Bramha Chellaney had exactly this to say about Obamas AfPak policy. He had said this would be the consequence.
