In Jammu and Kashmir, a major tragedy was averted at the outskirts of Jammu City on Friday night with the timely recovery of a suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The suspected IED fitted with two timer clocks and six capacitors and two packets of explosive powder of 500 grams was later defused by a Bomb Disposal Squad after it was spotted by a civilian. Police sources said, Military Hospital and family quarters of Army were some distance away where the suspected IED was found. Though no presence of militants had been observed in the area, there was a possibility that the IED might have been kept by some militants to pick it up later and plant near Defence installations in the area. Police has registered a case in this connection.
