Three die as militants vow to continue Kashmir insurgency
2006-03-14
Indian troops killed two suspected militants in Kashmir and an alleged informer was beheaded in the state, police said, as militants vowed Monday to continue fighting New Delhi's rule. Troops shot dead two members of the hardline militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba in the southern district of Rajouri late Sunday, a police spokesman said. Indian police have accused Lashkar of carrying out triple bomb attacks in Hinduism's holiest city of Varanasi last week. The group denied involvement.

The police also said suspected militants beheaded an alleged informer in southern Anantnag district late Sunday. On Monday the Pakistan-based United Jehad Council vowed, in a statement via a local news service in the Indian Kashmir summer capital Srinagar, to continue the 16-year insurgency that has claimed at least 44,000 lives. The council said ongoing talks between moderate separatists and New Delhi were "useless."
