Three Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists, including one Pakistani national, have been killed in an ongoing encounter with the security forces at Chandgam area in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district, officials said on Wednesday.
“Three terrorists of terror outfit JeM including one Pakistani national killed. Incriminating materials, arms and ammunition including two M-4 carbine and one AK series rifle recovered. A big success for us,” the J&K Police, quoting Inspector General Police Kashmir zone Vijay Kumar, tweeted.
The gunfight took place after a joint team of the police and the security forces cordoned off the area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists.
As the security forces zeroed in on the spot where the terrorists were hiding they came under a heavy volume of fire that triggered the encounter.

Pakistan is one of those few countries that send mercenaries to wage terrorism across it borders. In the recent years, there have been spates of cross-border terrorism in north-west India due to mushrooming of newer and newer Jihadist groups supported and militarily trained by ISI. These terrorists are pushed across the LoC to launch terror attack in India. Before Taliban take-over of Afghanistan, Pakistan’s ISI used to dispatch these terrorists to Afghanistan to destabilize Ghani Govt. there.
