"You Can Run But Can't Hide": Armed Forces Neutralize Lashkar Terrorist in J&K's Shopian The recent neutralization of a Lashkar e Taiba terrorist in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, marks another skirmish in the ongoing cat and mouse game between security forces and militant groups in the region.
This encounter appears to be a textbook example of effective counter terrorism operations: a well coordinated joint effort involving the Army, Police, and CRPF resulted in the elimination of a high value target.
The dense orchard terrain in Shopian, where the encounter took place, provides a prime example of how geography can complicate security operations.
