Official sources here identified him as Mohammed Naved from Faisalabad in Pakistan, who had entered Kupwara in North Kashmir last month in the comnpany of four other terrorists but had to return as their guide did not turn up to receive them.
A resident of Ghulam Mustafabad (Faisalabad) in Pakistan, Naved, believed to be in early 20s, has two brothers and one sister. One of them is a lecturer while the other runs a hosiery business.
Naved identified the fellow terrorist killed today in the retaliatory fire by BSF as Noman alias Momin, who hailed from Bhawalpur in Pakistan.
