| Suspected militants have killed six Muslim villagers in a remote area of Indian-administered Kashmir. The dead, all members of a shepherd's family, included four women and two children. Those women and children can be very dangerous Unidentified militants are said to have entered the house of Mehboob Iqba, a 55-year-old shepherd, in a remote village in Rajouri district, some 180 kms north of Jammu. They killed his wife, three daughters-in-law and two children, aged two and four. Mr Iqba was not at home at the time. Three of Mr Iqba's sons, whose wifes were among those killed, belong to the Indian army and police, which is being seen as the motive behind the attack. The BBC's Binoo Joshi in Jammu says militant groups have been targeting the families of soldiers. |
