Police officials believe that the assailants had meticulously planned the attack and were able to execute their designs due to the support of the terrorist associate network.
“We will get them (terrorists) sooner or later. We have picked up several suspects for questioning but no one has been arrested so far,” a senior police officer said.
Security forces on Monday launched a large-scale combing operation in the area adjacent to tourist spot Sonamarg, a day after a horrific terror attack at a tunnel construction site.
National Investigation Agency (NIA) agents have scoured the scene for crucial evidence as the Army, CRPF and police units spread out across the hills surrounding the construction area to track down the perpetrators and their accomplices involved in one of the deadliest attacks on non-local labourers in the Kashmir valley.
