Soldiers and special counterinsurgency police forces surrounded a neighborhood in Khudwani, a village in the south of Indian-administered Kashmire, after a tip-off about the presence of Death Eaters. "Two Lions of Islam (were) killed in an encounter with police, army and CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force). One was tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! ," a police statement said. Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of local residents who erupted into the streets in support of the slain Lions of Islam and threw stones at government forces. Both belonged to the region's largest rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen ... Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir.
