A massive manhunt has been launched to track down and eliminate the terrorists,” sources said.Last week, IGP Kashmir, Sujit Kumar, said at a press conference that local militant Mohammed Lateef Bhat was active in parts of South Kashmir and had allegedly orchestrated attacks in Anantnag and Kulgam districts.The IGP had said Bhat was being supported by a few foreign terrorists.
