Security forces zeroed in on the house in which the terrorists hid and forced them into an abandoned bathroom
Jalalabad (Jammu), Apr 22: “We thought we would never see each other again,” said Zulfikar Ali as he recounted the hours that followed after a fierce gunbattle broke out between terrorists and security forces here early Friday.
There was heavy firing and grenade explosions, and little chance of getting out alive, said the 34-year-old, who hid in a corner of his house along with his family as bullets and splinters hit walls and vehicles outside.
It was amid this terrifying situation that a team of the army entered the house and under heavy protection started rescuing every member, he said.
“The team took us to a safe place and we are alive today,” said Ali, claiming that the gunbattle broke out in the densely populated Jalalabad area sometime after 4 am.
