Security Forces Neutralize Top Lashkar-e-Taiba Commander in Srinagar

A meticulously planned operation in Jammu and Kashmir used biscuits to manage stray dogs and avoid alerting the terrorist.

Usman, a high-profile Lashkar-e-Taiba commander, was killed in a day-long encounter in Srinagar's Khanyar locality.
Security forces, including local police and the CRPF, conducted a nine-hour operation to avoid collateral damage in a densely populated area.
Biscuits were used to pacify stray dogs that could have alerted Usman to the security forces' presence.
Usman, armed with an AK-47, a pistol, and grenades, engaged in a fierce gunfire exchange, resulting in a fire that was quickly contained.
Four security personnel were injured but are in stable condition, marking a significant victory against The Resistance Front, a Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot.
