| Twenty people were wounded on Friday when suspected Islamic militants hurled a grenade at the mosque in a congested area of Jammu, police said. Several pro-India politicians were among the 200 worshippers in the mosque but they escaped unhurt. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. Police said suspected militants shot dead two of their colleagues in an âinter-group clashâ in the southern Doda district late Friday. The motives behind the killings were not immediately known. Indian troops shot dead three militants in two separate overnight encounters in the districts of Doda and Baramulla, a police spokesman said. He said the militant killed in Doda was active in the region for more than 10 years and was serving as dominant militant group Hizbul Mujahedinâs district commander. Police also said suspected militants beheaded another officer in the frontier district of Kupwara late Friday. |
