Border Security Force, BSF today shot dead a Pakistani intruder along the Indo-Pak International Border in Bamiyal sector of Pathankot in Punjab. It is the same spot from where terrorists had infiltrated last year to attack an IAF base. Sources said the BSF observation post detected suspicious movements of an intruder around 8:15 AM at about 50 metres from the international border fence.

The troops challenged the intruder but seeing no response they fired which killed him on the spot. In January last year, terrorists from across the border had infiltrated in the sector and launched an attack on the strategic Indian Air Force base.
