RSS Chief KS Sudharshan was not present at the headquarters when the militants dressed as Police Sub-Inspectors and travelling in a white ambassador car with a red beacon light tried to pass through the barricade but were challenged by policemen deployed there. Police suspects the militants belong to Pakistan-based Lashka-e-Taiba. Three AK-56 rifles, five kgs of RDX and 14 hand grenades were recovered from the slain militants after the encounter that took place around 4 am about 100 metres away from the headquarters. The militants were in the age group of 20-22 years. The terrorists were carrying RDX in a tiffin box and they were planning to blast the entire complex, official sources said. Giving details of the encounter, City Police Commissioner SPS Yadav told reporters at the site that a police team gave chase to their vehicle after they broke the first barrier about 200 metres from the headquarters. When challenged by the police, they opened fire from their AK-56 rifles, he said, adding the trio was killed in retaliatory firing. Yadav said two police officer were injured in the encounter which lasted for about five minutes. The condition of one of the injured was stated to be serious. ================================= *3 terrorists killed near RSS headquarters* Thursday, 01 June , 2006, 08:21 *http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14217116* ================================= *Cops foil terror bid on RSS office, gun down terrorists* *http://www.ibnlive.com/news/cops-foil-terror-bid -on-rss-office-gun-down-terrorists/11953-3.html * ** *Police foil attack on RSS HQ, 3 killed * **Thursday June 1, 08:52 AM *http://in.news./060601/43/64p8s.html* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
