Two terrorists killed as Srinagar gun battle ends

Security forces on Thursday stormed the hotel in Lal Chowk killing two Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen terrorists including a Pakistani in the 22-hour gunbattle. The operation intensified on Thursday morning, even as the death toll in the major terror attack in the heart of the city rose to two with a civilian succumbing to injuries.

A senior Paramilitary officer in charge of the operation, said the location of the hideout in the middle of a cluster of inhabited buildings made their task tougher.
