| SRINAGAR, India - A senior militant commander was shot dead by the army and two civilians were killed by suspected rebels in Indian-held Kashmir Monday, police said. Indian troops shot dead Hafiz Bhat, a senior commander of dominant rebel group Hizbul Mujahedin, in the southern district of Doda late Sunday, police said. Hizbul wants to secede Kashmir from India and join it with neighbouring Pakistan. Nuclear-rivals India and Pakistan each hold Kashmir in parts and claim it in full. Separately, suspected rebels overnight shot dead a member of the ruling pro-India party in southern Kashmir district of Pulwama, while a Muslim woman was killed in Udhampur district, further south, a police spokesman said.
