5 jawans killed in suicide attack in Srinagar

Hizbul Mujahideen has claimed the responsibility of killing five jawans in a suicide attack at a CRPF camp in Srinagar on Wednesday.

Two suicide militants were also killed in the attack. 15 soldiers and three civilians were injured.

Incidentally this is first suicide attack in Kashmir valley in three year.

“Prima facie the terrorists don’t appear to be local but from across the border and first impressions are that they are possibly from Pakistan,” Home secretary R K Singh told reporters in New Delhi.

“It was a guerrilla attack carried out by a special squad formed for the purpose,” Hizbul Mujahideen spokesperson told local news agency to claim responsibility for the attack.
