| A brief gun battle between Indian government forces and suspected rebels on Tuesday killed two rebels and two troops in the disputed Kashmir region, police said. Army and police officers acting on a tip had been searching for militants hiding in the southern Kashmiri village of Hundoora when militants began firing on them, sparking an hour-long gun battle, according to senior police officer Abdul Ghani Mir. He said two militants, a police constable and an army colonel were killed. Another two soldiers were wounded. There was no immediate statement from any of the rebel groups that have been fighting against Indian rule in the Himalayan region since 1989. |
