Indian troops corner kill rebels in Kashmir mosque
SRINAGAR, India - Troops in Indian-administered Kashmir have surrounded a village mosque where three Islamic militants took refuge to evade capture, the army said Saturday. The three fled into a mosque when Indian army backed by police launched a search operation in Tujan village, army spokesman Anil Mathur told AFP. Tujan is in central Kashmir, about 30 km from Srinagar.
Of course the bad boyz holed up in an arms depot a mosque. They can reload and resupply ... |
There has been no fighting so far and we have no plans to storm the mosque or intiate the fighting, Mathur said, adding efforts were on to motivate the militants to surrender. We are seeking help from elderly persons to try to motivate the militants to give themselves up without causing any damage to the mosque, he added.
| Otherwise you go in there and dig them out, and no screwing around. |
A police officer said a few shots were heard when the troops laid siege to the mosque.
