The bodies of two Army porters, including a headless one, were found in the Gulpur sector of Poonch today, the first handiwork of Pakistan’s Border Action Team this year.
Five porters, wearing Army dress, were on duty at forward area Kasaliyan. Taking them for Indian soldiers, Pakistan soldiers/BAT targeted them by triggering an IED, sources said. Mohd Aslam (28) and Altaf Hussain (23) died on the spot, while Mohd Saleem (24), Mohd Showkat (28) and Awaz Ahmed were severely injured. “After the blast, BAT personnel slit the throat of an injured porter,” sources said. — OC
