New Delhi:

Security agencies have identified three terrorists involved in plotting the Pahalgam terror attack in which 25 tourists and a Kashmiri pony ride operator were shot dead in cold blood. Two of them — Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafeez Saeed and his deputy Saifullah Kasuri — are in Pakistan, and the third, Hashim Moosa, is believed to be hiding in Jammu and Kashmir.

Sources in the security establishment have said Hashim Moosa is hiding somewhere in the forests of south Kashmir and an all-out operation has been launched to track him down. The terrorist, security agencies fear, will try to flee to Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir police have announced a bounty of Rs 20 lakh for any information about Hashim Moosa and assured that the informer’s identity will be kept secret.
