Srinagar: Two LeT terrorists were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Srinagar’s Zakura area, officials said on Saturday.

“Two terrorists of terror outfit LeT/TRF neutralised by Srinagar Police. One of the killed terrorists Ikhlaq Hajam was involved in recent killing of HC Ali Mohd at Hassanpora, Anantnag. Incriminating materials including two pistols recovered,” J&K Police said in a tweet citing Inspector General Police Kashmir zone Vijay Kumar.
