In a shootout with security forces, a commander of terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, Altaf Hussain, has been killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, said police.

According to a police spokesman, after receiving a tip-off security forces raided the militant’s hideout in Mahore area, some 150 km north of Jammu.

It may be mentioned that Hussain is said to be responsible for many murders, shootouts and planting bombs.

“It is a big success for the security forces and a big blow to the militant outfit because Altaf Hussain was a key commander of Hizbul Mujahideen,” the spokesman said.

In the past one week, security forces have killed eight militants, most of them belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba, in the mountainous and forested region north of Jammu in the Himalayan heights of the Pir Panjal range.
