At least nine people, including a lieutenant colonel of the Indian Army, were killed and four injured in twin terror attacks by a single “fidayeen” (suicide) squad in Kathua and Samba districts of Jammu region on Thursday morning. An unknown outfit Shohada Brigade, suspected to be Lashkar-e-Taiba’s shadow or proxy name, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Sami-ul-Haq , spokesman of Shohada (martyrs) Brigade called up local newspaper offices in Srinagar and told them that three of their boys carried the attacks in Kathua and Samba. Indian intelligence agencies believe that the brigade is a pseudonym of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the banned Pakistani terrorist group.
