Pathankot, Jan 3 (IBNS): As the search operation is currently underway in the Indian Air Force (IAF) frontier base near Pathankot town in Punjab on Sunday, security personnel have recovered bodies of all four terrorists, who were killed after a day-long gun-battle on Saturday, along with their weapons like AK 47s, mortars, grenade launchers and GPS (Global Positioning System) devices.
The terrorist attack on the air force base in Punjab's Pathankot district, believed to be carried out by Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed that seeks independence for Kashmir, left three IAF men killed.
 
The gun fight between the terrorists and the security forces lasted for nearly 15 hours.
 
According to reports, the GPS devices recovered from the terrorists will be scrutinized to understand the route taken by the terrorists to enter the base at Pathankot.
 
The airbase, which serves as large military facility from where Russian-made fleet of MiG-21 fighter jets and Mi-35 attack helicopters fly, is still under combing operation.
 
The search operation is likely to get over by Sunday afternoon. 
 
Earlier, President Pranab Mukhejree, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other Indian leaders have condemned the attack.
 
Ending a day full of tensions, security forces neutralized terrorists who had attacked Pathankot air force of India in Punjab on Saturday.
 
The attack occurred days after Narendra Modi visited Pakistan and met his counterpart Nawaz Sharif.
