The two were arrested by the Border Security Force and the Army in a joint operation at 'Angoor Post' at Gavalata village in Uri last Saturday when they were trying to infiltrate into India. With both being residents of PoK, the army authorities interrogated them whether they had any knowledge about the attack in which four terrorists had stormed an army camp at Uri on September 18 and killed 18 soldiers. One of the killed terrorist was identified by the NIA as Hafiz Ahmed of Darbang in Muzaffarabad Tehsil of PoK. The duo would be brought to the national capital where they would undergo scientific tests and also subjected to an interrogation by joint team of security agencies. The two had been recruited initially by Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed for guiding its militants to infiltrate across the Line of Control and later they helped other militant groups as well, the sources said.
