In a major breakthrough in the investigation into the terror attack on an Army vehicle in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on April 20, a villager has reportedly admitted to having provided logistical support to the terrorists for nearly two-three months.

While senior police and security forces officers remained tight-lipped about the development, sources said the villager was one of the nearly 60 people picked up for questioning after the terror attack on the Bhimber Gali-Surankote-Poonch Road that killed five soldiers and injured another.

Sources said that the terrorists who attacked the Army vehicle reportedly stayed at the villager’s house initially and later moved into the Bhatta Durian forests. The villager has reportedly admitted to having provided logistics, including food and shelter, to the terrorists.

The villager was also taken inside the forest by security forces to lead them to the terrorists’ hideout.

Apart from known over-ground workers (OGWs), the police and security forces had picked up many people for questioning on the basis of their mobile phone locations near the site of the terror attack at the time. Police sources said that a number of people were let off after nothing was found against them.

The security forces and police continued searches for the past week in the forests of Bhatta Durian and areas along the Line of Control in the Balakote, Mendhar and Mankote sectors. However, there has been no trace of the terrorists.

Meanwhile, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Wednesday took stock of the progress of ongoing searches in the area and interacted with the troops. This was his second visit to the area in five days as he had earlier gone there on April 22.

‘I’m just not afraid’: Lynda Carter on her online activism and Wonder Woman

The afterlife of the movie star with a single, iconic role is a curiosity. Between 1976 and 1979, Lynda Carter appeared in three seasons of Wonder Woman , a hit so huge that for those of us who saw it as children, she remains a somewhat mystical figure. Knight Rider was great, the A-Team was fun, but Wonder Woman – jumping between boulders, sparks flying from her wrist plates – was something else. Here is Carter today, in a pastel-colored blazer on video chat from her home in Maryland, and although I’m a 46-year-old woman with two children and a mortgage, I can’t help it: I’m completely agog. “It was such a short part of my life, but it has made a bigger impact than any other thing I’ve done,” says Carter, who is 70 and looks nothing of the sort. Among the many reasons to love her, is her good grace in the face of a generation’s obsession with those three short years of her life.
