    Authorities discover Afghanistan phone number on terrorist
  • Authorities discovered a phone number registered in Afghanistan, scribbled on the arm of one of the terrorists who was killed in an infiltration bid.

    Officials said the number could be a ploy to distract investigators as it was unusual for terrorists to carry identifying markers on them.

    Officials said this was the modus operandi of the JeM to scuttle the investigation.
