Terrorizing attempts in J&K continue to disrupt peace in the valley just a day after a group of 24 foreign envoys visited the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists attacked policemen deployed at Baghat chowk in Srinagar outskirts. In the unprovoked attack in Barzulla area of Srinagar district, two policemen were critically injured and later succumbed to their injuries.
The Barzulla terrorist attack was caught on camera, showing the horrifying action. The terrorist hid an assault rifle under his pheran and opened fire, injuring police officers. The Resistant Front, a front for Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack. The terrorist has been identified and a massive manhunt is underway.

The cowardice of these #ISI bred terrorist scum is evident from the fact that he chose to attack the @JmuKmrPolice cops from behind.
