Security Forces Launch Manhunt For Amarnath Yatra Attack Mastermind

BySwarajya Staff

Security forces have launched a massive manhunt to nab Lashkar-e-Toiba commander and Pakistani national Abu Ismail, who is now believed to be behind the attack on Amarnath pilgrims.

Intense operations have been launched, especially in south Kashmir, to track down Ismail as investigations based on communication intercepts have established his involvement in the attack on the pilgrims, a senior police official said.

Seven Amarnath pilgrims, including six women, were killed and 19 injured when terrorists attacked a bus in Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Monday evening.

The official said the attack in Anantnag appears to be a reprisal for killing of several Lashkar militants including Bashir Lashkari in an encounter with security forces earlier this month.
