Srinagar: Terrorists attacked a bus of security personnel at Pantha Chowk in Srinagar area on Friday, killing one and injuring three others.

The bus was carrying personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Armed Police. It was going from Bemina to Zewan.

Four policemen were injured in the attack. They were rushed to the Army's 92 Base Hospital at Badami Bagh cantonment here, where Head Constable Kishan Lal succumbed to his injuries, a police official was quoted as saying by PTI.

The condition of the three others is stable, he said. 

Security forces had been put on high alert after intelligence inputs had indicated that terrorists were planning an attack around Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Azha which falls on Saturday.

The attack comes days after eight security personnel, including four CRPF men, were killed when militants had carried out a suicide attack on a district police complex in south Kashmir's Pulwama district.

The terror strike had taken place at the crack of dawn on August 26 when the militants, believed to be foreign mercenaries, had entered the police complex.

Three terrorists were also killed by the security men.
