Today's incident took place in the Eidgah area of Srinagar. The two teachers who were killed have been identified as Satinder Kaur and Deepak Chand. Satinder was the principal of the school.

Two days after killing 3 civilians, holy warriors kill 2 teachers in Srinagar
"At about 11:15 am, holy warriors rubbed out two school teachers at Sangam Eidgah in Srinagar district," a police official said.

On Tuesday, The Resistance® Front killed three civilians including a prominent chemist in Jammu and Kashmir. In the first incident, holy warriors fired at a chemist, M L Bindro at the Iqbal Park area of Srinagar. He succumbed on the way to hospital. The incident took place at around 7 pm.

Releasing a statement after the attacks, spokesperson for The Resistance® Front, Umar Wani said that the group had carried out three assassinations in North Kashmir. He said that Bindro was killed because he was an RSS worker.

In the second attack the TRF killed one Virender Paswan. The outfit termed him as a non-local informer of the Intelligence Bureau. The third attack was on Shafi Lone, whom the TRF termed as an informer. The attack took place at the Shahgund area of Hajin in Bandipora district.

In its statement, the TRF said that it would continue with attacks on RSS workers and non-local informers. We will continue with the attacks and strike fear in the hearts of these people the statement also read.

Investigations by the police are underway and a search has been launched for the terrorists.

The TRF is an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba which was formed last year. The TRF has largely local holy warriors and since the day of its formation, it has targeted Hindus and people which it thinks are informers of the police. An official tells OneIndia that the intention is to drive fear into the minds of the people. The TRF has specifically targeted Hindus and those in support of peace in Jammu and Kashmir, the officer also said.

The NIA has charged Zafar Iqbal based in Pakistain and Shaid Naveed. The accused persons were part of a deep-rooted criminal conspiracy hatched by Pakistain based handlers of the terror group and their associates based in Poonch and Kuwait.

The NIA says that they were planning on executing terror attacks in a bid to wage war against the Indian state. The accused were tasked to smuggle arms, ammunitions, explosives and narcotics, the NIA said. During the course of the investigations a large cache of arms, ammunitions, explosives, narcotics, flags, posters and other incriminating material were seized.

The probe revealed that Iqbal had sent funds through Naveed who at that time was based in Kuwait.

These funds were then sent to Poonch to carry out the plan. Further investigation into the case continues.

. The encounter took place at the Malhoora Parimpora are in Srinagar, in which Lashkar terrorist Nadeem Abrar was killed.

A terrorist of Pakistain origin too was killed in the encounter.
Handler? ISI messenger? Finance guy?
Following the shootout, the security forces found several incriminating materials, including arms and ammunition.

IGP Kashmir Zone, Vijay Kumar said that a Pak terrorist and a top Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander, Abrar have been killed in the encounter with security forces at Malhoora Parimpora in Srinagar.

Abrar who was arrested by the police was leading the security forces to his hideout, while an accomplice of his shot at the group, injuring three CRPF personnel.
Oh my lord, we have us a genuwine Encounter!

Following a long interrogation involving a barrel of mustache wax, tea, and biscuits for the interrogators, our miscreant, loved still by his dear old mother despite being wanted on twelve planets for mopery and dopery on the spaceways, among other dreadful acts of bad manners, promises to take the coppers to capture his gang in their secret hideout.

But...”Hark!” quoth his Number 2 Henchman [that is a size, dear Reader, not his rank in the organization]. “My SpideySense is tingling. Quick! Attack the Good Guys awaiting without!” [Do not ask “Without what,” dear Reader, lest you be bopped on the nose as you would thoroughly deserve for such a dreadful solecism — in both senses.]
Officials said that this led to a shootout between the security forces and terrorists. At the end of the battle Abrar was killed.
In the crossfire, a single bullet found its way into his brain behind his left ear, after which his henchmen, who came in all sizes between 2 and 15, an impressive feat for a mere 4.5 henches, disappeared as if they had never been.
The killing of Abrar is a major victory for the forces. He was involved in the killing of former special police officer Fayaz Ahmed, his wife and daughter at their home in the Tral area of Pulwama district.

Kumar who visited Ahmed's home had earlier said that unidentified murderous Moslems were involved in the attack.

The J&K Police said that Abrar was also involved in the attack on the CRPF at Lawaypora in March. In the attack three CRPF personnel were martyred and their rifles were snatched by the terrorists.
