"The slain militants belonged to Al-Badr, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Ansar Ghazwatul Hind (AGUH) outfits. 

"Seven of them belonged to AGUH including the group's chief, 3 to Al-Badr and 2 to LeT', the DGP told reporters. 

He said 2 of the slain LeT militants had carried out the killing of a territorial army soldier on April 9 at Bijbehara in Anantnag district. 

"Both of them were hard core militants. With the elimination of 7 AGUH militants, the outfit has been completely wiped out", the DGP said adding that all the 12 militants were killed during the last 72 hours.
