Three Muslim rebels were killed in Indian Kashmir on Saturday when a fierce gunbattle broke out between troops and rebels hiding in a mosque. Army spokesman Colonel Dharam Adhikari told Reuters the militants had fired with heavy weapons on soldiers surrounding the mosque. "...all three terrorists were killed. A search is still going on," he said. One soldier was seriously wounded. The gunbattle happened as people in Kashmir were preparing to celebrate Islam's second biggest festival, Eid-al-Adha. Militants have sought refuge in the past in mosques across Jammu and Kashmir, the only Muslim-majority state in predominantly Hindu India. Most other sieges have ended in bloodshed.
