Jammu and Kashmir: Presence of terrorists can't be ruled out in Samba, says Brigadier RS Rana

Brigadier RS Rana on Saturday said the possibility of the presence of terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district cannot be ruled out, adding it appears that those responsible for today's terror attack came from Pakistan.

"We cannot rule out the presence of terrorists in the area. No identify has been established till now. Looks like they wanted to barge into the cantonment but because of the security alerts they could not. Looks like they have come from Pakistan," said Brigadier Rana.

"They were also carrying two daggers that we recovered. It is very difficult to say as to which area they came from. However, our special did a very good job," he added.

The security forces gunned down the two militants, who had attacked the army camp in Samba district.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier assured that all necessary actions are being followed with regard to the militant attack on an army camp in Samba.

The Samba attack has come less than 24 hours after six people, including two militants, were killed in an attack on the Rajbagh police station in the state's Kathua district.
