Five âinfiltratorsâ killed in Kashmir
Indian soldiers shot and killed at least five suspected rebels who they claimed were trying to sneak into Indian-held Kashmir on Satiurday. The guerillas were caught in the Maschil area, near the Line of Control, an army officer said on condition of anonymity. Maschil is a mountainous area nearly 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Srinagar. Also on Saturday, suspected rebels lobbed a grenade at a passing security forcesâ truck in Kulgam, a village nearly 70 km south of Srinagar. It missed the target and exploded on a road, wounding three passers-by, police said. In the nearby village of Tral, an army captain and a soldier were wounded in a shootout with suspected rebels, a police officer said on condition of anonymity.Posted by: Fred 2004-06-20 |
