New Delhi: A terrorist, said to be a trained sniper and an expert in Improvised explosive devices (IED), has been gunned down in an encounter with security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district. The Pakistan-based terrorist, identified as Quari, has been trained on Pak & Afghan front. He is a highly-ranked terrorist leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba and has been active in Rajouri-Poonch along with his group for the past year.
