Kashmir Korpse Kount
2003-05-26
At least nine people have died in two separate attacks in Indian-administered Kashmir. Police say a group of militants entered a remote village in the mountains in Rajouri, which is close to the border with Pakistan. They entered the house of a Muslim shepherd and shot him dead along with his wife and three sons, aged between five and 13. In the second attack in Poonch, Indian troops and Kashmir state policemen cordoned off an area near Surankote, a suspected militant hideout. A gunbattle left three militants and a policemen dead. Last week the Indian army announced that it had killed more than 60 militants hiding in the Surankote hills, in Operation Sarp Vinash (Annihilation of Snakes).

And more deaders, from Daily Times (Pak)...
