Ten rebels killed in Kashmir
 Indian troops killed 10 militants in Kashmir, eight of them after they illegally crossed into the zone from the Pakistani-held side of the divided region, the army said on Monday. Indian soldiers have shot dead eight militants along the Line of Control since yesterday, army spokesman Anil Kumar Mathur told AFP, referring to the de facto border dividing Kashmir between India and Pakistan. We have foiled a major infiltration bid, Mathur said, attributing the killings to timely intelligence by military sources.Two more militants and an army soldier were killed elsewhere in the region on Monday during two separate gun battles, he added. New Delhi accuses Pakistan of arming and funding Kashmiri separatist militants and helping them cross into Indian Kashmir, a charge denied by Islamabad. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-11 |
