Three militants killed in Kashmir: Indian police
2011-06-04
[Dawn] Indian police said Friday they had killed three gun-hung tough guys suspected of being from the Lashkar-i-Taiba beturbanned goon group in a fierce gunbattle in Indian-administered Kashmire.

The guerrillas were killed in Sopore town, 55 kilometres north of Srinagar, police superintendent Altaf Khan told AFP.

"The encounter broke out last evening when a joint party of police and army confronted the gun-hung tough guys and ended with their killing this morning," he said.

The firefight came just two days after security forces recovered a big haul of rifles, pistols and grenades from a roadside dump in Sopore.

For more than 20 years, beturbanned goon groups in Indian-administered Kashmire have fought against New Delhi's rule, killing police and soldiers in the highly militarised Himalayan region.
