NEW YEAR TERROR: FIDAYEEN STORM RAMPUR CRPF CAMP, 8 KILLED
📰 Historical Press Archival Scan • Click to Zoom #01-01-rampur-crpf-attack-2008

In the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2008, heavily armed Lashkar-e-Taiba fidayeen infiltrated the CRPF Group Center in Rampur, opening indiscriminate automatic fire and lobbing grenades inside the camp barracks.

Seven brave CRPF personnel and one rickshaw puller were killed in the ambush. Investigations revealed severe perimeter security lapses and total failure to act on prior central intelligence warnings about strikes on paramilitary installations.

The attack was a precursor to the devastating series of urban terror strikes across Indian cities throughout 2008.
