Sopore: Eight Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists were arrested in South Kashmir’s Sopore on Monday  for threatening and intimidation of locals. The arrest comes two days after four people, including a two-year-old girl, were injured after terrorists attacked the house of a fruit trader in here.

The eight arrested are accused of preparing the threat posters and circulating to instil fear among the people and disrupt peace in the Kashmir Valley. The terrorists have been identified as Aijaz Mir, Omar Mir, Tawseef Najar, Imitiyaz Najar, Omar Akbar, Faizan Latief, Danish Habib, and Showkat Ahmad Mir.

The police also found the computers and other accessories used for drafting and publishing of the posters.
