| [NATION.PK] Three suspected Lions of Islam were killed in a shootout Saturday after they entered Indian-held Kashmire from the Pak side, an Indian army front man said. Soldiers intercepted the Lions of Islam early Saturday in the border district of Kupwara, Lt Col Nitin N Joshi said. The army did not suffer any casualties in the shootout, Joshi said. There was no independent confirmation of the fighting. Five Lion of Islams, three soldiers and a civilian have died in two shootouts in the same frontier area over the past two weeks. Kashmire is claimed by both India and Pakistain in its entirety. India accuses Pakistain of funding and training Lions of Islam in Azad Kashmire and facilitating their entry into Indian-held Kashmire to fight Indian forces. Islamabad denies the charge, saying it gives only moral and diplomatic support to the Kashmiri people. |
