2006-09-11 |
SRINAGAR: A Pakistani national was among five suspected Islamist militants who were killed in the latest violence in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), which also left dead one civilian, police said on Sunday. Four of the militants were killed in three separate gunbattles late on Saturday in the southern districts of Poonch, Doda and Pulwama, a police spokesman said. "One of the slain militants was a Pakistani," he said. Suspected militants shot dead a former colleague who had surrendered to the army recently, police said, adding that a civilian hurt in an alleged militant attack had died on Sunday. Insurgents routinely target informers as well as pro-India politicians. |
