Srinagar: Hours after one of the biggest attacks on the Army in 15 years, unidentified militants on Sunday snatched weapons of police personnel guarding the residence of ruling People's Democratic Party's district President Jawed Ahmed Sheikh from Anantnag in Kashmir, police said.
Six to eight militants attacked the guard post at the residence of Advocate Jawed Ahmed Sheikh, district President of PDP at Dayalgam, at around 9.30 PM and snatched four AK rifles from the security personnel, a police official said.
An alert has been sounded in south Kashmir area to trace the militants, he said, adding, this is the fifth incident of weapon snatching from police personnel in Kashmir since the ongoing unrest in the Valley.
Four heavily-armed terrorists said to be "foreigners" had sneaked into an army camp near the LoC with Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday morning in the worst attack on a military base in the state in a decade that left 17 soldiers dead and many injured.
All the four Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) fidayeen or suicide attackers, who stealthily entered the camp near Uri town at 5.30 a.m. after cutting the barbed wires, were killed in fighting that raged for some two-and-a-half hours, military officials said.
