| [ALMANAR.LB] A policeman and a civilian were killed Tuesday when suspected rebels opened fire outside a Moslem shrine in Indian Kashmire, police said. The bully boyz targeted the police officer guarding the shrine of Tujjar Sharif, 55 kilometers (35 miles) northwest of the main city of Srinagar. "The policeman unfortunately lost his life, and a civilian who was shot during the attack departed this vale of tears later," deputy inspector general of police for the area, Gharib Das, told AFP. It was not clear if the 70-year-old disabled civilian was shot by the bully boyz or he was hit by a bullet when police returned fire. The bully boyz fled the area after the attack and the dead police officer's automatic rifle was missing, Das said, adding security forces had launched a hunt for the attackers. |
