On August 7, two terrorists of the same outfits were eliminated in a "chance encounter" in the Bijbehara area of South Kashmir's Anantnag district. The killed terrorists were planning to strengthen Al-Qaeda's offshoot in Jammu and Kashmir.
By luring innocent youth, the eliminated terrorists were working to set up terror modules in different areas of Kashmir Valley in general and South Kashmir in particular.
Sources said that material recovered from the possession of the eliminated terrorists revealed that terror mentors sitting across the border are trying to revive Al-Qaeda's offshoot in the Valley.
The killed terrorists were identified as Fayaz Ahmad Kumar alias Faheem Kumar son of Mohammad Ramzan Kumar and Owais Ahmad Khan son of Ghulam Mohammad Khan, both residents of Waghama Bijbehara who were affiliated with the AGuH group.
