Srinagar, Nov 18: Al-Mansoorian militant outfit, a shadow of Lashker-e-Toiba, claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on the CRPF camp in the high security Batwara here today.
A caller claiming to be spokesman of the outfit told reporters on phone that the attack on the camp at Indira Nagar crossing was carried out by its cadre.
A leading Urdu daily also received a call from the outfit spokesman who said two of its militants carried out the attack.
Al-Mansoorian, which had claimed responsibility for the killing of former National Conference minister Mushtaq Ahmad Lone in Kupwara district during Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections last year, has since then claimed suicide attacks on a number of security camps across Jammu and Kashmir.
