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.
