National Conference leader shot dead
SRINAGAR — A National Conference leader was shot dead yesterday morning when he was returning after offering prayers at a mosque in this Jammu and Kashmir summer capital. Police said Ghulam Nabi Wani, a National Conference councillor in Srinagar's Khanyar locality, about three km from the city centre Lal Chowk, was killed when suspected separatist rebels pumped bullets into him.

Wani represented the opposition National Conference party in the city’s Municipal Corporation.

"Wani was immediately taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. He had received critical bullet injuries including one in his head," a police officer said. No militant group had claimed responsibility for the attack.
Did they need to?
The early morning shooting led to tension in the Khanyar neighbourhood. Police and paramilitary forces have surrounded the area and have begun searches, the officer added.
