JAMMU - Army troops Saturday recovered a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) in a forest area of Jammu and Kashmir, an official said.

The three-kg bomb was recovered in jungles of Thanna Mandi in Rajouri district, about 200 km northwest of Jammu, said a defence spokesman.

The recovery comes amid official consensus that a large number of militants and ammunition from Pakistan have either been smuggled or waiting to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir to target upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
