Three militants killed in Kashmir: Indian police
[Dawn] Indian police said Friday they had killed three gun-hung tough guys suspected of being from the Lashkar-i-Taiba beturbanned goon group in a fierce gunbattle in Indian-administered Kashmire.

The guerrillas were killed in Sopore town, 55 kilometres north of Srinagar, police superintendent Altaf Khan told AFP.

"The encounter broke out last evening when a joint party of police and army confronted the gun-hung tough guys and ended with their killing this morning," he said.

The firefight came just two days after security forces recovered a big haul of rifles, pistols and grenades from a roadside dump in Sopore.

For more than 20 years, beturbanned goon groups in Indian-administered Kashmire have fought against New Delhi's rule, killing police and soldiers in the highly militarised Himalayan region.

and US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said last week that the group was "in the same rank" as al Qaeda.
