Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said two foreign terrorists, who have possibly infiltrated from north Kashmir's Bandipora area, were involved in the deadly attack.

The unidentified terrorists carried out the attack when the labourers and other staff working on the tunnel project at Ganderbal's Gund had returned to their camp late in the evening.

Sinha said police and other security forces have been given instructions and full freedom to track down and eliminate the perpetrators of the heinous act.

"According to an investigation, two people with masks covering their faces -- both possibly foreign terrorists -- entered the mess of the company constructing the Z-morh tunnel and opened indiscriminate fire.

Seven people were killed and four injured," he said.

Sinha further said both the terrorists reportedly infiltrated from the Bandipora area of north Kashmir. "They are being tracked and will be neutralised," he said.
