Kashmir Korpse Kount
 SRINAGAR, India - Indian soldiers have shot dead seven terrorists militants in three separate incidents in revolt-hit Indian-administered Kashmir, the army said on Tuesday. âThree of the terrorists militants were killed during a night-long fierce gunbattle in the town of Shopian,â army spokesman Vijay Batra told AFP. Shopian is an important town in the southern Kashmir district of Pulwama, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the Indian Kashmir summer capital Srinagar.
Batra said a soldier was injured in the fighting. âThe area is still under cordon and a search operation is on there,â he said.
In another incident, three terrorists rebels were killed Tuesday at the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border dividing Kashmir between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, Batra said. The incident happened at Machial, northwest of Srinagar, he added. âOne more terrorist militant was killed in a brief encounter with the army in Srinagarâs Bemina locality early on Tuesday,â Batra said.
