On a day that symbolised the victory of Durga, a brave Muslim woman in a remote Jammu village axed to death a dreaded Lashkar terrorist without any help.

Police believe that the slain terrorist was Osama, a Pakistan-based LeT commander, wanted in many cases of extortion and terror related activities.

The incident happened when two terrorists barged into her house in Thana Mandi village in Rajouri district Sunday night. Showing a great presence of mind, Rashida Begum, who is in her early 40s, grabbed an axe that was at her hand's reach and flung it at the terrorists, killing one of the armed terrorists and injuring the other. Seeing his partner dead, the other terrorist took to his heels.

According to the police, the two terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based group that carried out the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, had barged into Noor Ahmad's home around 9pm and wanted to seek revenge and hold the family hostage for refusing to give shelter to Pak based ultras.

Police said the two started beating the family members of Noor for not providing information on people who refused to harbour terrorists. Even as they were beating up the men, Noor's wife, Rashida rushed into the room and threw an axe at a terrorist from behind. The terrorist died on the spot.

She then charged at the second terrorist who was taken by surprise at the developments. Rashida and the rest of the family members managed to overpower him and snatch his weapon. However, the terrorist escaped under the cover of darkness, but not before receiving sharp cuts in the face-off with the furious housewife.

Security forces are combing the area for the escaped terrorist.
