NEW DELHI: Four Kalashnikov rifles used by the terrorists in the Uri attack, and handed over by the military to investigators on Monday bore ** markings or insignia of any kind, reported the Indian Express citing sources familiar with the ongoing investigation. There were also ** military markings on barrel-fired grenades destroyed by the army on Monday, or on launchers fitted on the Kalashnikovs.
Lt General Ranbir Singh, Director General of Military Operations, had told reporters on Sunday that the ******* had Pakistan markings. The NIA officials, however, underlined that syringes, painkillers, other medications and packets of ready-to-eat food carried by the terrorists bore the markings of several Pakistani manufacturers, linking the perpetrators to that country.
Officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing the Sunday’s terror attack on the army camp in Uri which left 18 soldiers dead, believe that the terrorists spent at least a day in the mountains above the brigade headquarters complex, observing their target. The bulk of the fatalities, the NIA sources told The Indian Express, took place in a cook-house and store room which burned down during the attack.
The two buildings, sources said, had been bolted from outside to prevent those inside from escaping before being set on fire, suggesting that the terrorists had a high degree of k**wledge about their targets.
