ALashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist was killed in an encounter with security forces in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, police said.

Based on a specific input generated by police regarding the presence of terrorists in Turkwangam area of Shopian, a cordon and search operation was launched by security forces, a police spokesman said.

As the search team proceeded towards the suspected spot, the hiding terrorist fired indiscriminately upon them which was retaliated effectively leading to an encounter, he said.
