Pathankot: The bodies of four terrorists gunned down in encounter with security forces during the terror attack on the country's strategic air base in Pathankot were sent for post mortem examination today, while combing operation to "sanitise" the entire air base was on its last leg.
Six terrorists were killed in the attack which started in the early hours of Saturday. While the bodies of four were found to be intact, the remaining two were blown into pieces.
The bodies of four terrorists were brought to a civil hospital for the post mortem examination, officials said adding that a team of four doctors would conduct the medical examination on them.
Meanwhile, the combing operation continued today to fully sanitise the air force base.
"Our work is in progress in the entire area," Pathankot Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) RK Bakshi said.
Security officials said that the combing operations will continue at the forward base where seven security personnel and six terrorists were killed.
The terrorists were carrying AK-47 rifles, modified Under Grenade Barrel Launcher, pistols, Swiss and commando knives, 40-50 kg of bullets besides 3-4 dozens of magazine and mortars.
The NIA has already registered three cases in connection with the brazen terror strike, including the murder of a taxi driver by terrorists, kidnapping of a Superintendent of Police rank officer and attack on the IAF base on the intervening night of January one and two.
