The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday arrested two accomplices of Pakistani terrorist Usman alias Qasim Khan, who was captured after the Udhampur gun battle, from the Kashmir Valley.
"The NIA today (Saturday) arrested two persons in Awantipora (Pulwama district) and Kulgam district areas after Usman identified them," a police officer told IANS here.
"The NIA team had taken Usman to Pulwama and Kulgam following disclosures made by him. It is likely that more arrests will take place following the leads given to interrogators by the accused."
