Muslim heroes shoot up wedding party in Jammu & Kashmir
Seven people belonging to a wedding party were gunned down by suspected Muslim heroes in Jammu and Kashmir. Sixteen Muslim militants, two women and an Indian army major were killed in Kashmir. Twenty-one houses, a junior grade school and more than two dozen single-roomed tenements were also destroyed in a blaze ignited during one of the gunbattles between Indian soldiers and Islamic guerrillas. A police spokesman in Srinagar said six militants, all local Kashmiris affiliated with the militant group Hizbul Mujahedin, were gunned down during a three-hour encounter at the village of Magam.
