The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the killing of a policeman in Jammu-Kashmir on Sunday, 25 February.
Both the government and the J-K Police had ruled out the involvement of the barbaric terrorist group in the attack on the house of the separatist leader Fazal Haq Qureshi, one of the two attacks that rocked the state on Sunday.
According to reports, Farooq Ahmad Yatoo was one of the two cops on duty at the house when the terrorists attacked. The terrorists reportedly called out the cop before shooting him. They also decamped with a rifle.

Yatoo succumbed to his injuries later in the day.
Reports say that the Islamic State has claimed responsibility of the killing in Al Amaq – the news outlet linked to the terror group.
“Assassinated an element of police in firing near city of Srinagar in Kashmir yesterday,” the Indian Express quoted Al Amaq as saying.
While the J-K police is investigating the attack, this is the second time the IS has claimed responsibility for an attack in J-K since the November 2017 attack in Zakura area of Srinagar which left two security force personnel dead.
Before the attack on Qureshi’s residence, unidentified terrorists had fired at the sentry guarding the Sufi shrine of Hazrat Shekih Noor-Ud-Din Noorani at Charar-e-Sharief and escaped with a rifle.
Constable Kultar Singh, who was grievously wounded in the attack, later succumbed to his injuries.
Director General of Police SP Vaid expressed his grief at the Constable’s death in a tweet: “Pained at the loss of a valued colleague Kultar Singh of JKAP 13 Battalion who attained martyrdom in an attack on J&K Police guard for protection of Charar-e-Sharief shrine.”
