Sopore: One person was killed and two others injured after unidentified gunmen opened fire at a BSNL showroom in north Kashmir's Sopore town on Monday.


The security forces rushed to the Iqbal Market in Sopore, where the attack took place, and cordoned off the area.

The injured were rushed to the hospital and a search operation is underway to nab the gunmen, who are suspected to be militants.

One of the injured, Mohammad Rafiq (26), a resident of Handwara area of Kupwara district, succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The two injured, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat (40) and Imtiyaz Ahmad Lone (30), both residents of Sopore township, were being treated upon, a police officer said.

The police officer said that it seemed to be an attack on telecom operators as militants had threatened them in the past. It was second such attack in less than 48 hours in Sopore area.

On the intervening night of May 23-24, suspected ultras had hurled a grenade at a residential compound where a mobile transmission tower was installed.

Today's attack comes after terror group Lashkar-e-Islami's warning to mobile operators in Sopore to shut the services.

Although officials were tight-lipped as to why the militants were targeting telecom installations, sources said the ultras were upset about "theft" of their communication equipment from mobile transmission towers in Sopore and surrounding areas earlier this month.

The militants had allegedly installed communication equipment atop the towers of private and PSU companies.

They had also put up posters warning them against selling recharge coupons and asked them to close the mobile towers.

The attacks happened at around 10.30 a.m. on Monday and all the three injured were working at a private telecom franchise. They have been rushed to the hospitals,” Superintendent of Police, Sopore, Abdul Qayoom, told The Hindu. “One of the wounded was the owner of the business while another was an employee working there, and the third was a customer.”
A senior telecommunication official told The Hindu that suspected militants had visited offices of the four major telecommunications companies - BSNL, Airtel, Vodafone and Aircel - on May 1 and ordered the companies to shut down their services in a week’s time.

“They were two people armed with pistols. They took two laptops from the Airtel showroom, one from Aircel, and one from Vodafone and gave clear instructions that we must shut our businesses and our mobile towers down,” an employee at one of the telecommunication franchises in Sopore told The Hindu.

The militants told the employees at the communication showrooms that they were providing intelligence inputs to the police and that the militants will not tolerate their presence in Sopore anymore.

“We tried to tell them that we are in sales department and we have nothing to do with the operations part, but one of them asked us to shut up and said that we were responsible for the killing of scores of their men,” the official said.

One of the wounded, Mohammad Rafiq, died at Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) hospital. Rafiq had bullet injuries in his back and doctors said that his vital organs had been damaged.

"One of three wounded people brought to the hospital died a while ago. The other two are being operated upon and we cannot say anything about their condition as of now," Dr. Nazir Ahmad Chowdhary, Medical Superintendent of SMHS hospital, told The Hindu.

Terrorists tactics such as Grenade hurling / car bombs are counter productive when its comes to a insurgency.

How so?
Purpose of a terrorists is to disrupt the status quo or day to day life in order to upset local settlements into choas, which leads them to attack the only people they see for the blame. Any one in a uniform. Same tactic in Afghanistan.
