Pathankot, Jan 3 (IBNS): Hours before the terrorist attack commenced on the air force base in Punjab's Pathankot district, security agencies intercepted a call, believed to have been made by a terrorist to his mother, media reports said.
In the 70-second call, made at 1:58 AM, the man could be heard saying that he was out on a "suicide mission", NDTV reported quoting sources.
 
"Silence from the other end. Then he repeated, 'I'm on a suicide mission and Allah will take care of all of us,'" sources told NDTV.
 
In less than two hours, the terrorists attacked the Pathankot air base.
 
The attack, 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.
 
Ending a day full of tensions, security forces neutralized all four terrorists who had attacked Pathankot air force of India in Punjab on Saturday.
 
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.
