Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif are due to meeet in New York on September 29 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The auto driver, who managed to escape after dropping the terrorists at the police station, informed the police that they had also gunned down a PCO owner Suresh before hijacking a tempo truck which had been seized by the police the previous night.
The tempo driver was asked to be taken to a nearby Army camp at Samba--about 18 km from the Hiranagar police station-- while the cleaner Mohammed Feroz, a resident of Kashmir Valley, was shot dead.
IGP, Jammu region, Rajesh Kumar said the terrorists abandoned the tempo and may have taken another vehicle from there and reached the army camp in Samba where they opened indiscriminate firing on jawans deployed at its security gate and stormed the premises.
They barged into the Army Mess where they resorted to heavy indiscriminate firing as troops geared up and retaliated resulting in a fierce gunbattle.
Army moved in crack commandos and quick action teams inside the camp where TV footages showed tanks moving inside in the hunt for the militants.
