Srinagar, May 14 : Two Lashker-e-Toiba commanders and two abducted Central Reserve Police Force constables were killed today in two separate incidents in Jammu and Kashmir.
LeT commanders who were identified as Pakistani commander Abu Saifullah and area commander Zulikar were killed in a fierce gunbattle with security forces in Doda District while the CRPF constables who were abducted in Shopian district, were killed by militants, official sources said.
Two AK rifles, three magazines, 110 rounds and one grenade was recovered from them.
Saifullah was involved in dozens of attacks on security forces in Doda District.
The commanders were expecting to meet a group of militants who had recently infiltrated into the country.
Three constables of CRPF, who were on intelligence gathering mission, were abducted by the militants in Shopian District on Tuesday.
While one of the constables managed to escape from the clutches of the kidnappers, the other two -- Mohammad Rafique and Asif Ali -- were killed by their captors, the sources said.
All the three constables were Kashmiris and had been assigned the task of intelligence gathering in the forests of Shopian, which is believed to be infested with militants, sources said.
