| 4 months on, Dhangri terror attack perpetrators still untraceable | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 1: Exact four months have passed after the gruesome terror attack at Dhangri village of Rajouri but those responsible for killing seven unarmed civilians are still at large.
Anger among residents of Dhangri village is brewing due to the failure of the security forces to trace the terrorists involved in the gruesome killing of seven persons in two back-to-back terror attacks. Residents have pinpointed that some local over-ground workers were involved in two back-to-back terror attacks but forces have yet to identify those who were responsible for giving shelter to terrorists responsible for January 1 terror attack.
The busting of a terror module involved in the Poonch terror attack has rekindled a ray of hope among Dhangri residents to get justice.
A senior police officer has revealed bullets used in the Dhangri attack were similar to those which were used by terrorists on the Army jawans after abusing a truck in the Mendhar area of Poonch.
Reports said that terrorists used steel core bullets, capable of piercing an armoured shield and decamped with the soldiers’ weapons. Reports said a sniper is believed to have targeted the truck from the front before the other terrorists sprayed bullets and lobbed grenades at it.
Steel core bullets, capable of piercing an armoured shield, were used by NATO forces during the Afghanistan war and these bullets are part of ammunitions NATO forces have abandoned after leaving Afghanistan.
Seven people including two minor children were killed and 14 injured as terrorists attacked Dhangri on January 1 and January 2.
While five people, including two brothers, were killed in the firing by terrorists, two children died when an improvised explosive device (IED) left behind by the attackers went off the next day.
Big security lapses were exposed when terrorists managed to trigger blasts through IEDs in the same house the next morning where they killed two persons on the previous evening.
While four people were gunned down on January 1 evening, two children were killed and several others injured after a suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast occurred in the same vicinity in Rajouri’s Dangri village on January 2 morning. One injured later succumbed to his injuries in GMC Jammu. |
