Hizb offers truce during Ramazan
 The biggest militant group fighting Indian rule in held Kashmir on Wednesday offered a conditional cease-fire during Ramadan, which is set to begin next week.Ehsan Elahi, chief spokesman for the Hizb-ul Mujahedeen group, said the limited cease-fire depended on Indian troop reductions on its side of the Line of Control. "If the Indian government agrees to scale down troop presence, stop human rights violations and release all political prisoners, we will also consider a cease-fire in attacks against them during Ramadan," Elahi told The Associated Press.
