Militants attack complex in Srinagar
 SRINAGAR: Militants stormed a sports complex on Saturday and engaged in a fierce gun battle with paramilitary troops living inside the grounds, police said. There was no immediate word on any casualties in the sports stadium complex which had been requisitioned as a temporary barracks by India's central reserve police force, a police spokesman said. At least two heavily armed militants hurling grenades forced their way into the complex and a firefight was under way between the rebels and the paramilitary soldiers. "The battle is still going on," the police spokesman said. Aside from soldiers' barracks, the stadium houses a passport and other federal government offices in Srinagar. Posted by: Fred 2005-01-16 |
