NEW DELHI: The mastermind of the Sunjuwan terror attack was on Monday killed in a shootout with the Army in south Kashmir.
Mufti Waqas was killed in an encounter at Hatiwara area of Lethpora village in a joint operation of the Army's 50RR, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police's SOG.
"The mastermind of the Sunjuwan terrorist attack and Letapore terrorist attack, Jaish-e-Mohammad operational commander Mufti Waqas has been eliminated in a surgical operation," said Srinagar-based defence spokesperson Col Rajesh Kalia.
"Weapons and incriminating materials like IED preparation material have been recovered. He is a foreign terrorist," said Kashmir IG SP Pani.
