The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday said that media related conclusions attributed to it with regard to the investigation of the recent terror attack in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir, were factually incorrect.
“Pictures of two slain terrorists whose faces can be recognised would be shown to some Jaish terrorists who are in jails to identify the terrorists”, said sources, adding that the faces of the other two terrorists were charred beyond recognition.
There were reports that that Army had intensified searches in Charunda and Gollahan villages to ascertain whether the terrorists had taken shelter before reaching the army camp at Uri. Low clouds were also hampering the operation for retrieving the bodies of the militants which were lying close to the LoC, the sources said.
The NIA yesterday filed an FIR in the Uri terror strike case and a six-member team will soon visit the site of the attack to collect the evidence in the matter.
The two Global Positioning System (GPS) sets recovered from the slain militants were damaged during the attack and have been handed over to the NIA, which is probing the case.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) which took over the probe is also trying to find out how the terrorists managed to breach the area.
The NIA team led by Inspector General G P Singh has been camping in Uri since its arrival on Wednesday.
The meeting which took place at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg was mainly a discussion on the prevailing security situation in the country and India’s response to the Uri Attacks.

“Pakistan has nothing to gain from this attack.It has become Indian habit to point accusing fingers at Pakistan after every such incident in India”, he said.
