#PulwamaTerrorAttack: NSG, NIA to assist J&K Police in terror-attack probe

Anti-terror force National Security Guard (NSG) experts and National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigators will join the investigation into the deadly terror attack at Awantipora in J&K's Pulwama. Nearly 40 CRPF personnel were martyred in J&K's worst terror attack since the 2016 Uri attack. Home Ministry officials said NSG's explosive specialists and forensic experts with NIA team are being sent to assist in the investigation.

A CRPF official said there were 70 buses in a convoy that was going towards Srinagar. On the Srinagar-Jammu national Highway, an SUV, laden with 350kg of explosives rammed into the bus triggering a blast. The bus was reduced to shambles in no time. Terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack and revealed local resident Ahmad alias Waqas carried out the suicide attack.
