Recoveries from 4 slain infiltrators confirms Pak connection: Army

SRINAGAR: Arms and ammunition and other articles recovered from the four slain infiltrators in Naugam sector recently confirms Pakistani connections, a Defence ministry spokesman said here  this evening.

Colonel Rajesh Kalia said four militants terrorists were eliminated by Army on the Line of Control (LoC) while trying to infiltrate on October 6, 2016 in Naugam Sector. Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings on the hand grenades and the UBGL Grenades recovered from the terrorists confirms Pakistan complicity in abetting and equipping terrorism.
