Terror reminder

The attack on the Sunjawan camp comes 13 months after the fidayeen attack on the Kaluchak camp in which 35 Army personnel and their family members were killed. The militants entered the camp after cutting the barbed wire fence on the rear. They first shot dead a sentry and then, throwing grenades, entered the barracks and sprayed bullets on the sleeping jawans, killing 12 and injuring seven.

Brigadier J S Thind, commander of the Sunjwan brigade, in his brief interaction with mediapersons, came out with sketchy details of the incident. He said the two terrorists entered the barracks at around 4.30 am. They started firing indiscriminately.

Army8217;s Quick Reaction Team responded fast, killing both of them. Two AK rifles and some arms and ammunition were recovered. The camp housed 11-Dogras, JAK Li and Sikh Li, besides staff quarters and a training centre.
