Attack on BSF camp, 3 killed

Srinagar, March 30
As the countdown for the start of the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service began, two militants strapped with explosives today carried out a suicide attack on a BSF camp in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to a heavy exchange of fire that left the ultras and a jawan dead.

Two unidentified militants came in a vehicle at around 10.50 a.m. to the main gate of the BSF’s 112 battalion at Arampora-Sopore, 55 km from here, lobbed a grenade and fired indiscriminately at the guards manning the sentry post, BSF Deputy Inspector-General K. Srinivasan said.

The security personnel returned the fire, killing both the intruders, while a head constable of the force also died in the exchange of fire, he said. — PTI
