Lashkar Commander Sajid Jatt Tasked TRF to Carry Out Reasi Terror Attack, Say Sources | News18Sajid Saifullah Jatt, believed to be commanding the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Kashmir, may have been the one to task the local Lashkar-backed The Resistance Front to carry out the attack on the passenger bus in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district that left nine people dead and 41 injured, sources told News18.On Sunday, terrorists opened fire at the 53-seater bus carrying pilgrims when it was en route from Shiv Khori temple to the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine at Katra near Teryath village in the Poni area. The bus plunged into the deep gorge following the gunfire.According to sources in J&K Police, recent communications and intercepts suggest the order to carry out this type of an attack was given recently. “It’s premature to say if they wanted to target this particular group of pilgrims or wanted to attack pilgrims in general,” a source said.
