Indian politician and son shot dead in Kashmir by suspected rebels
A politician belonging to India's ruling Congress party and his 12-year-old son were among six people killed in separatist-linked violence in restive Kashmir, police said Saturday. Bashir Tiker, 45, a member of India's ruling Congress party, was gunned down overnight by suspected rebels with his son Mohammed Akram in the Mahore area of southern Udhampur district, a police spokesman told AFP. Tiker's wife was also seriously injured when the militants barged into the politician's ancestral home and opened indiscriminate fire with automatic guns, he added.Posted by: Fred 2004-10-31 |
