In a bid to avenge the death of Kashmiri militant Afzal Guru, a group of terrorists attacked the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Pathankot yesterday.
According to the Dawn, the man who was abducted by four armed men along with two others revealed that the gunmen kept repeating 'You killed Afzal Guru and now we will take revenge' as they slit the man's throat and left him to die.
Guru was hanged in New Delhi's Tihar Jail for his role in the 2001 Parliament attack.
The men, who were reportedly carrying assault rifles and grenades as well as a GPS navigation system, had a clear idea about the location of the base.
