5 Lashkar men arrested in Kashmir

The five Mohammad Qasim, Javid Ahmad, Mohammad Hussain, Javid Iqbal and Riyaz Ahmed were involved in separate grenade throwing incidents in the district which claimed two lives and left 69 others injured, Inspector General of Police, Jammu range, SP Vaid told reporters in Jammu on Sunday.

He said Mohammad Qasim, a hard core terrorist, was working as a guard with the chairman of Jammu wing of Hurriyat Conference and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Saidullah Tantray.

"It is obvious that Tantray would be knowing about the activities of his domestic servant and investigations are going on in the matter," Vaid said.

Asked whether police would initiate action against Tantray, he said nobody would be allowed to go unpunished if found involved in the heinous crime of attacking innocent people.
