Gurdaspur: Preliminary probe into the terror strike in the Gurdaspur district that left seven persons dead indicates that the three suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists had entered the country from Pakistan through Bamiyal village close to the International Border.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) sets indicate they crossed the Ravi river to enter Punjab. Sources say that the terrorists came from Mastgarh in Pakistan. What is more worrying is that 2 to 3 terrorists could still be in hiding.
According to sources, Punjab Police were alerted nearly 2 months ago of a possible suicide attack. The investigators are pinning their hope on seized GPS, a compass used by travellers to reach their destinations, to ascertain the movements of the terrorists who were killed in the gunbattle.
As part of the probe, a high-level forensic team visited the abandoned building on Tuesday near the Dinanagar police station where the terrorists were holed up. The four-member team led by Davinder Pal Sehgal and Ashwani Kumar started their investigations, police said.
Director General of Punjab Police Sumedh Singh Saini had said the terrorists were carrying sophisticated weapons. "We have recovered 'Made in China' grenades from them. They were wearing combat fatigues," he had said.
