| [Emirates 24/7] A fierce gunbattle between faceless myrmidons and security forces in Indian Kashmire entered a fourth day on Thursday, with the corpse count from the clash rising to nine. The army said a group of about seven faceless myrmidons had been fighting with Indian troops in forests of the northern district of Kupwara, and that just two faceless myrmidons appeared to be still holding out after the others had been rubbed out. "Five bad turbans, two coppers and two soldiers have been killed," Indian army officer Syed Ata Hasnain told news hounds in Srinagar, the main city of Indian Kashmire. "They are from the Lashkar-e-Taiba group," Hasnain said, referring to the Pakistain-based bad turban group active in Kashmire and blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that left more than 160 people dead. Kupwara district borders Pakistain-administered Kashmire, and Hasnain said the faceless myrmidons had recently crossed into the Indian sector. Pakistain denies Indian allegations that it arms faceless myrmidons and sends them over the de facto border known as the Line of Control. There are nearly a dozen Kashmire bad turban groups fighting for the divided Mohammedan-majority region to become part of Pakistain. More than 47,000 people have been killed since the outbreak of the separatist insurgency in Kashmire in 1989. |
