1 soldier, 3 suspected militants killed in Indian Kashmir base camp attack
[DAWN] Suspected Death Eaters stormed a paramilitary base in Indian-administered Kashmire early Tuesday, police said, leaving one soldier and three attackers dead.Three paramilitary troopers and a police officer were also injured as the trio of attackers hurled grenades and fired automatic weapons at the Border Security Force (BSF) base next to Srinagar airport before dawn, director general of police S. P. Vaid said. "All the three Death Eaters have been killed. An assistant sub-inspector of BSF also died in the initial assault," Vaid told AFP. Flight operations resumed at the high-security airport after being suspended briefly, with at least one in-bound flight from New Delhi cancelled, authorities said. The base in which the shootout took place shares a common compound wall with the airport. The camp houses a battalion of India's Border Security Force and only barbed wire separates it from the Srinagar airport, which is controlled and run by the Indian Air Force.
