India's army said it killed three suspected Islamic militants Saturday after they entered Indian-controlled Kashmir from Pakistan, in the first incursion reported since Pakistan's president pledged to stop cross-border infiltrations. Pakistan government officials denied that any militants had crossed from Pakistan into Indian Kashmir.
Hell, no! They came from, ummmm... someplace else.
On Saturday, the army spotted the crazed killers rolling their eyes and waving guns in Sagwari sector, half a mile from the Line of Control dividing Kashmir between India and Pakistan. The three were zapped during an hour-long exchange of gunfire.
The Indian army also raided a hide-out infested with gunnies overnight and waxed two in Angan Patri, a nearby village in Poonch district.
Also Saturday, a politician was one of four people killed in attacks blamed on homicidal maniacs. Bashir Ahmad, a member of Kashmir's the governing National Conference party, was shot by two masked men at his home in Srinagar.
In two other attacks in the Kashmir Valley, two police officers were killed in a raid on their post and an army officer was killed in Zadura, 65 miles north of Srinagar. |
