Came to India 12 days ago, says arrested terrorist
"There was just the two of us," Usman was quoted as saying in a video of his interrogation.
With a smile on his face, he said: "We came here 12 days ago."
He was caught alive after an attack on a BSF party in which two soldiers were killed in Jammu's Udhampur district on Wednesday.
One terrorist was also killed as BSF men fired back.
Two terrorists in military uniform stopped a bus in which Border Security Force soldiers were travelling and started firing. The BSF returned fire and killed one terrorist.
The second terrorist, Usman, who ran into a school, fought with security forces before he was captured after nearly four hours. He had taken three villagers as hostage.
The incident has raised security concerns for Amarnath pilgrims who often take this stretch of highway where the attack took place.
