Hizbul, TRF quibble over credit for attack

New Delhi: The banned terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) newly formed The Resistance Front (TRF), were quibbling over the credit for perpetrating the terror attack in Kashmir's Handwara town.

While one of the Hizbul terrorists made an audio call to his aide during the encounter with the Indian security forces in Handwara, claiming responsibility for the terror attack, TRF has been posting pictures of the two terrorists taking credit for the same.

In the audio call, one of the two terrorists informed a Hizbul member about the encounter in which he and his partner were trapped with injuries in Handwara.
