The militant who was gunned down by security forces on Wednesday in J&K's Pulwama has been identified as a Pakistani national and the most wanted Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorist. According to sources, Abu Saif Ullah alias Abu Qasim was active in Awantipora for more than a year and was a close associate of foreign Jaish militant Qari Yasir. The security forces also fired in retaliation. The search continued and the terrorists were tracked down in the forest area of village Nagander which is about one kilometre away from Ziantrag village. This triggered another exchange of firing in which Abu Saif ullah was killed and his dead body was retrieved along with arms and ammunition.
