A Muslim man, his daughter and son were killed in a "gift" bomb explosion while troops shot dead seven rebels in separate clashes in Indian Held Kashmir, police said Friday. The explosion occurred in the house of Mohammed Sayeed, 45, late Thursday in the southern Kashmir town of Bijbehara, a police spokesman said. "Sayeed and his two children died on the spot while his wife was seriously injured," the spokesman said. The son was aged 20 while the daughter was 22. Police said they were mystified why the family was targeted, as they had no political affiliations. An unidentified person delivered the wrapped gift earlier in the day and when the family "started opening it there was an explosion," the police spokesman said. |
