Six pilgrims injured in Jammu bus blast
Baradar
(Jammu): At least six people were injured after a landmine ripped
through a moving bus in Baradar, 65 km north of Jammu, late on Friday
night. According to officials, militants had planted a crude landmine
in the rear of the bus and triggered it barely an hour after it left from
the main terminal near Jammu city. The bus was packed with pilgrims returning
from the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi. The injured were rushed to Jammu
Hospital where doctors said that among the six people injured the condition
of one of them is still critical. "We got six cases. One of them is critical
whose limbs were crushed. Two were recommended to other hospitals and
the rest are being treated. Their condition is stable," Kamal Gupta, the
physician at the state-run hospital, said. Meanwhile, today the army in
Jammu recovered a massive haul of automatic rifles, ammunitions, explosives
and rocket launches which were tucked in cooking gas cylinders. DK Badola,
a senior army officer, said: "We recovered an AK-56 in one cylinder and
another carried mines, explosives and other ammunition". Police said that
the red cooking gas cylinders normally does not evoke any suspicion but
on a tip off they were able to seize the arms.
