Gulrez (J&K), July 04: The Army has recovered bodies of six terrorists found buried in the snow in the Gurez sector of the state.
According to Army sources, the terrorists had attempted to enter Indian territory in March this year, but heavy snow and an avalanche claimed the lives of six to eight of them.
They said that it had taken them almost three months to recover the bodies because of inclement weather and heavy snow.
A search is on to locate the remaining bodies, they said, adding that the dead terrorists were well equipped and clothed to infiltrate through the snow laden ridge lines of North Kashmir.
Six AK- 47 rifles have also been recovered, they said.
