"During searches in the peripheral area of the camp, it was found that the terrorists had entered a building in the area, which was later surrounded and fire exchanges are continuing between the terrorists and the security forces," said senior police sources. Today's attempt, to attack the CRPF camp comes just two days after five soldiers and a civilian were killed at Jammu's Sunjuwan army base station. At least ten people including soldiers, women and children were also injured in the attack. A group of heavily armed terrorists attacked the army base at 4.45 am, on Saturday. The terrorists entered the quarters of the Junior Commissioned Officers when everyone was asleep. The chief of the Indian Army, General Bipin Rawat, was in Jammu yesterday, to review the operations that lasted for nearly 30 hours.
