Four family members, 2 rebels killed in Kashmir
2006-11-06
Four members of a family and two suspected Islamic militants were killed in two separate incidents on Sunday in Indian-held Kashmir, said police. Suspected insurgents entered the home of Mohammed Ada Bhat, a 55-year-old farmer, and fatally shot him, his wife, a daughter and a niece in Dalwa village, said Basant Kumar Rath, a senior superintendent of police. Police were investigating the surviving family membersÂ’ claim that suspected rebels killed the four after Bhat refused to marry his two daughters to the insurgents, said Rath.

Separately, government forces killed two suspected rebels during a shootout in Phagsoo. Also on Sunday, an 8-year-old boy was killed and three others were critically wounded when an explosive they found while playing in a village field exploded, said Viplav Kumar, the senior superintendent of police.
