The Jammu connection

By Our Staff Reporter

JAMMU SEPT. 27. When the modus operandi of the two terrorists involved in the killings at the Akshardham temple in Gandhi Nagar on Tuesday begins to unfold, the Jammu connection becomes increasingly clear.

The link has been established by a number of events that took place in the last few months. In May, the security agencies had apprehended at the Jammu bus stand two youths returning from Gujarat. They had ostensibly gone there to sell shawls. On interrogation it was found that the youths were planning to cross the Line of Control, get arms and return to Gujarat for carrying out terrorist acts.

Sources added that these two were on their way to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir via Kupwara district. They told The Hindu that the attack in Gujarat was remarkably similar to the series of terrorist acts carried out in the Raghunath Temple, Kaluchak and Rajiv Nagar here in the last few months.
