Mastermind of Amarnath attack, LeT commander Abu Ismail killed in Kashmir
SRINAGAR: Abu Ismail, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander and 'architect of Amarnath Yatra attack', was killed in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Nowgam on Thursday.

According to news agency ANI, Ismail was involved in Amarnath attack earlier this year in which seven pilgrims were killed.

Security forces have launched an operation to track down Ismail.

Abu Ismail was a Pakistani national. He reportedly replaced Abu Dujana as the LeT chief after he was killed in Pulwama encounter in August.

In a rare attack on the Amarnath Yatra, terrorists killed seven pilgrims and injured 14 others, including policemen, when they struck at a bus carrying them in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantang district in July.

The bus was attacked in Batengoo around while returning from Baltal to Mir Bazar after darshan
