SRINAGAR: A joint team of security forces on Thursday morning gunned down four suspected terrorists traveling in a truck near Ban Toll Plaza on the Jammu Srinagar National Highway.

The gunfight began when a truck moving towards Srinagar was intercepted by the security forces at one of the security check points near the Ban Toll Plaza. The vehicular movement on the National Highway was halted after the firing started early morning around 5.00 a.m. Security forces are now investigating where the terrorists boarded the truck.

“Soon after the security personnel started checking of the truck, four terrorists hiding inside a mobile bunker opened indiscriminate firing leading to a fierce gunfight,” an official source informed.

In the ensuing firefight, the security forces reportedly eliminated all four of them, the source added.
