The gunfight following the fidayeen attack on the Pulwama CRPF camp came to an end today after more than 36 hours with the killing of the third militant, a foreigner. This, as the bodies of militants Manzoor Ahmad Baba and Fardeen Ahmad Khanday, both from Pulwama district, who were slain yesterday, were buried amid clashes in which a youth sustained bullet injuries. CRPF spokesperson Rajesh Yadav said: “It’s over now. Mopping-up operations are underway.” In Srinagar, Special Director General SN Srivastava said: “The two terrorists killed yesterday were locals. The one killed today was a foreigner. A search is still on. We want to double-check before calling off the operation.” (Follow The Tribune on Facebook; and Twitter @thetribunechd)The fidayeen attack on Sunday was the third in 2017. The two local militants were buried in Drubgam and Hayena amid a sea of mourners and a complete shutdown in Pulwama and Shopian districts.
