Today in Kashmir: 7 militants terrorists killed
2005-10-01
SRINAGAR: Seven militants terrorists and a woman were among nine persons killed and four women injured in separate incidents in Jammu and Kashmir where security forces busted two hideouts and seized a huge cache of arms and explosives since last night.

In a major encounter, three militants terrorists of Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit were killed during search operations at village nowbugh-larnoo in the Kokernag area of south kashmir Anantnag district last night, a police spokesman said.

A civilian Ghulam Ahmad Kumar, an employee in Public Works Department, and a 50-year-old woman identified as Noori were killed and three women - Rehmati, her daughter Raja and Kulsooma - received bullet injuries as they were caught in the crossfire between the militants terrorists and the security forces during the operation, the spokesman said.

While Kumar had died of bullet injuries, Noori had apparently suffered a heart attack as no bullet or splinter injury was visible on her body, official sources said.

The spokesman said three AK rifles, six magazines, 80 rounds, two grenades and a wireless set were recovered from the slain militants terrorists one of whom was identified as Mohammad Ashraf Koka.
