Kashmiri leader Yasin Malik, who is chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, is to undergo surgery on 12 June at a Maryland hospital. The operation, the second to be performed on his ear, has been necessitated to deal with the consequences of injuries he suffered several years ago when he jumped form an upper storey window in Srinagar to escape arrest at the hands of Indian security forces.| "You'll never take me alive, coppers!
