Srinagar:
A militant, believed to have been killed in the gunbattle at Chinkipora in Sopore, on Wednesday emerged alive from the debris and began firing on security personnel searching for the bodies of slain ultras, killing a jawan but was shot dead in retaliatory fire.
The militant, who is yet to be identified, was killed as the security forces fired back after he began firing indiscriminately injuring a jawan who later died at a hospital, official sources said.
Three Armymen, including a captain, were killed in the gunbattle with the militants hiding in three houses at Chinkipora.
Reacting to the incident at NDTV's Indian of the Year awards, Home Minister P Chidambaram said, "This enemy is no different from the Al-Qaida. This is HuJI."
"They are very determined, hardened guys who can stay under debris for over 12 hours and then rise and shoot. Therefore, we must raise the same determination," he added.
