Srinagar, February 4: Security forces have arrested two Pakistan-trained terrorists at the Wagah-Attari border, while they were trying to cross into Punjab after undergoing a training in Pakistan.

The militants were identified as Abdul Majeed Bhat and Mohammad Ashraf Mir, said to be the residents of Baramulla district. Police have arrested them with valid passports and visas issued by the Pakistan High Commission. 

"They were on our radar for the past five months. We had information from since they entered Pakistan and joined militant training," Baramulla senior superintendent of police Imtiaz Hussain said on Saturday.

"They revealed they had undergone terrorist training in Pakistan along with large number of Pakistani boys and most of them from Balochistan, some as young as 10," a police statement said.

"This is not the first time. Two militants who had undergone training in similar circumstances have been killed in the past. In the past couple of years, police unearthed several modules that lure young boys to Pakistan to get trained and join militancy," Hussain said.

Meanwhile, in Jammu & Kashmir, two jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force and two civilians were injured in a grenade blast near Main Market at Tral in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district this afternoon.

CRPF spokesman said that suspected terrorists hurled a grenade towards a patrol of CRPF, injuring two paramilitary troopers while two civilians were also injured.
