A senior army commander, on September 28, said the army averted a militant attack by killing a Pakistani infiltrator and captured another alive along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector in Baramulla District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports brighterkashmir.com. The army commander said during a week, Army killed seven militants and recovered seven AK rifles, nine pistols and revolvers, and more than 80 grenades of various kinds besides Pakistani and Indian currency near the LoC. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Baramulla based- Army’s 19 Infantry Division, Major General Virendra Vats said that army launched the operation on September 18 after the Army noticed suspicious movement along the LoC in Salamabad, Uri. “An encounter took place when the infiltrators -- believed to be six -- were challenged. While four of them ran back towards the other side of the fence due to dense foliage and darkness, two sneaked into this side of the LoC,” he said. “We zeroed-in on the Salamabad Nallah, approximately 800 m inside the LoC, on September 25 and in the ensuing encounter, one militant was killed the next morning,” Maj Gen Vats said adding, “Another militant pleaded that his life be spared. As is the ethos of the Indian Army, after taking due precautions, he was taken into custody alive”. The arrested infiltrator was identified as Ali Babar Parra (19), resident of Okara District in Punjab province of Pakistan. Major General Vats said the slain militant was identified as Atiq ur Rehman alias Qari Anas (33), belonging to Attock District in Punjab of Pakistan. “The arrested militant has admitted to be a member of Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] and was trained in Muzaffarabad," GoC 19 Infantry Brigade said. “He has revealed that he was trained for three weeks at Khyber camp, Ghadiwala in Muzaffarabad in 2019”. “He was recalled this year for some important task and was told by his handlers that he has to drop supplies at Pattan. But when we went through the recoveries and modus operandi, it shows that they had come here for some kind of a strike which went beyond the drop of supplies,” he said. Maj Gen Vats said the infiltration attempt was made along the Salamabad Nala, which was the same route used for the 2016 suicide attack on the Uri garrison in which 19 army men were killed and many others injured. He said the infiltrating militants was supported by the Pakistani side with three porters bringing supplies till the LoC. “The movement of such a large number of people cannot take place without active complicity of the Pakistan Army deployed on the other side,” he said. Major General Vats said there has been an increased movement at the launch pad across the LoC. "This shows the desperation of Pakistan that when they see peace in Kashmir, they send militants to disturb peace by sensational strike”. He also said seven militants have been killed in as many days while one has been arrested alive. “Indian Army recovered seven AK rifles, nine pistols and revolvers, and more than 80 grenades of various kinds besides Pakistani and Indian currency,” he added.
