4 militants killed

By Our Correspondent

JAMMU, OCT. 11. In an operation lasting 12 days in the border district of Poonch four Pakistani militants were shot dead at Gali Pindi.

Army sources said the militants were hiding inside a cave for the past 12 days after five of their associates were killed. Jawans initially pushed dummy commandos inside the cave to exhaust the ammunition of the terrorists. Later, engineers blasted a portion of the cave to pave way for the entry of commandos inside. The bodies of the terrorists were recovered and two were identified as that of Sadar Din and Mohd Qadir Mittar of Pakistan.
