“The Urdu that they (the foreign terrorists) spoke is from certain parts of Pakistan…At least two local militants are suspected to be accompanying them,” an officer from the security establishment told
India has announced measures targeting Pakistan, a day after gunmen killed 26 people at a Himalayan tourist attraction in Indian-administered Kashmir.
They include closing the main border crossing linking the two countries, suspending a landmark water-sharing treaty, expelling diplomats, and ordering some Pakistani visa holders to leave within 48 hours. Pakistani officials, who have denied the country’s role in the attack, are meeting on Thursday to come up with a response, its foreign minister said. Meanwhile, Authorities have released sketches of at least three terrorists and announced a reward of Rs 20 lakh each for any information about them.
