The Home Ministry is likely to hand over the probe into today's attack on a CRPF camp in Jammu and Kashmir to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). 

A senior official said since the strike in Bandipora district of J-K was a terror attack, the investigation may be given to the NIA. 

Terrorists belonging to the Lashkar-e-Taiba were suspected to be involved in the incident as the modus operandi of the attack was similar to those adopted by the Pakistan-based terrorist group, the official said. 

Four heavily armed terrorists today tried to storm the CRPF camp in a pre-dawn 'suicide' attack but were killed in retaliatory fire by security forces.
