Lashkar's blasts plan foiled, 4 ultras arrested in Kashmir

Srinagar, Sep 17 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir police has foiled a Lashkar-e-Toiba plan to carry out series of blasts in the state.

The police foiled the plan after they arrested four Lashker- e-Toiba (LeT) ultras alongwith 20 hand grenades and UBGLs in north Kshmir.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Baramulla, Vijay Kumar said, police raided Sopore on a specific information and arrested LeT militant Nisar Ahmad Dar alias Sajid.

Later, three other Over ground Workers (OGW) of LeT, Abdul Hamid Shah alias Hassan, Mushtaq Ahmad Changa alias Shahid and Muzaffar Ahmad Saboon alias Zubair were arrested alongwith 11 hand grenades and nine UBGL grenades.

The grenades and UBGLs would have been used to target security forces and others.

The militants were working as couriers for carrying arms and ammunition and were facilitating shifting of top ranking militants from one place to another.

Mr Kuamr said the grenades which were recovered from them bear the same series number as that of used in the Sopore attack.

He also said Abdul Hamid Shah was responsible for helping militants to carry out ambush on Army convoy at Sopore on June 15 this year.
