| [Iran Press TV] Two Indian coppers and a civilian have been killed after unidentified Lions of Islam attacked a police vehicle in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmire, officials say. The attack took place in the Galander area of Pampore town, located 14 kilometers (nine miles) south of Kashmire's main city of Srinagar, at around 7:45 p.m. local time (1415 GMT) on Wednesday as Lions of Islam opened indiscriminate fire on a police vehicle. A police official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said two coppers and a bystander sustained injuries in the shooting. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital to receive medical treatment. Following the attack, contingents of Indian army, police and paramilitary rushed to the site and cordoned off the area. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... no one was locked away I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! as Lions of Islam managed to escape in the darkness. No group has grabbed credit for the attack. According to health authorities, the civilian was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital, while the two coppers later shuffled off the mortal coil. Islamabad and New Delhi have fought two wars over Kashmire since their independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The arch rivals lay claim over the whole region but control parts of it. |
