Srinagar, Dec 5 || Two terror associates were arrested on Thursday with AK-47 rifles in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
Officials said the security forces arrested two terror associates identified as Manzoor Ahmad Bhat of Nipora village and Altaf Ahmad Lone of Zadoora from whose possession arms and ammunition were recovered.
“The recovery was made from the arrested persons in the lower Munda area of Qazigund tehsil. The recoveries included two AK-47 rifles, four magazines and rounds of ammunition. A case has been registered against the arrested persons. Further investigation is going on,” officials said.
Security forces have started an aggressive anti-terror campaign across the union territory targeting terrorists, their over-ground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers in order to dismantle the ecosystem of terrorism in J&K.
The security forces started the campaign after the terrorists carried out some dastardly attacks against the Army, forces, police and civilians.
