Editing 2000 terrorist attack on Red Fort (section)

==Attack==
On 22 December 2000 starting at approximately 9:00 pm, two [[Lashkar-e-Taiba]] militants began firing indiscriminately and gunned down two army jawans belonging to the 7th Rajputana Rifles and a civilian security guard. The troops were placed at the fort due to its extreme importance within Indian history. The Red Fort used to house British army barracks; it was taken over by the Indian Army after Indian independence from the British rule. The intruders received returning fire from the Quick Reaction Team of the battalion. All the intruders escaped the Red Fort by scaling over the boundary wall on the rear side of the complex.
