Jammu hostage crisis ends; all three terrorists killed

Jammu's encounter with terror has ended fifteen hours after it began. At around 7 o'clock on Wednesday night, the last of the three terrorists hiding inside a house in the residential area of Bantalab fell to the Army's bullets as he tried to escape by breaking the cordon. And in a huge relief for Billo Ram in whose house the militants were holed up, his four children and wife are safe. But three other hostages - all of them male - were not so fortunate. They were killed by the terrorists.
