Militants walked from across border: Omar

Jammu: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Friday said the militants who carried out a Fidayeen attack on a police station in Rajbagh area of Kathua district came from across the border.

Omar said the attack was carried out on the past pattern. "These Fidayeen will have walked across the border last night and launched their attack this morning which is the past pattern as well," Omar said on his twitter account.

"My thoughts are with those brave security personnel dealing with the Fidayeen attack in Kathua town of Jammu this morning," he tweeted.

A group of two to three Fidayeen militants stormed into Rajbagh Police Station in wee hours today and opened indiscriminate firing, killing one policeman and injuring another, a senior police office said, adding the encounter is going on.
