This occurs only days after Srinagar police detained two Lashkar-e-Toiba hybrid terrorists, according to PTI. Security forces have a phrase for people who carry out duties given to them by their handlers before returning to normal life: hybrid terrorists. The two terrorists were identified as Naveed Shafi Wani and Faizan Rashid Teli, both of Pampore’s Shar Shali Khrew and Kadlabal, respectively.
They were found to be in possession of LeT-related evidence as well as weapons and ammunition, including four Chinese pistols, six pistol magazines, 11 pistol rounds, a grenade, 16 gelatin super power sticks, and six metres of cortical wire, and eight detonators.
